I have been trying to send variables to FLASH but have been unable to do so with FLV files.

I have gone through many tutorials and none talk about video files. I want to load FLV into their specific HTML files (this will be done thorugh ColdFusion).

I have a CF document with the following code

```auto

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</HEAD>

</OBJECT>

</HTM

```

I have an instance of the FLV playback component and I named it “video”, then I have the following AS code on frame #1

```auto

loadVariables("cfm.swf?video=#url.video#", this.video);

```

I can’t figure out what is wrong with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
