I have put in bold the areas of the code i can’t make sense of, when i enter var frank=“myXml.xml”, flash freezes and asks me to abort script.

Secondly, what relevance is \*\*attributes.name = “home\_page”; \*\*i have no knowledge of this line, what does it mean, and what links to it?

```auto
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        
        
        var flashvars = {};
        //set xml path
        **var frank = "http://www.deloitte.com/deloitte-ecm-cm-dpm-web/getflash?queryParams=view=dhome/cid=" + "4030faec731c1210VgnVCM100000ba42f00aRCRD";
        flashvars.john = frank;**
        
        //set SWFs path
        flashvars.swfPath = "http://www.deloitte.com/deloitte-ecm-cm-dpm-web/common/flash/resources/global/flash/";
        
        //set assets path
        flashvars.assetsPath = "http://www.deloitte.comassets/flash_content/";

        //set assets path
        flashvars.mediaAssetsPath ="http://www.deloitte.com/assets";

        //set language
        flashvars.configLang = "en_US";
        
        var params = {};
        params.menu = "false";
        params.wmode = "transparent";
        params.scale = "noscale";
        params.align = "LT";
        params.allowScriptAccess = "always";
        
        var attributes = {};
        
       **attributes.name = "home_page";**
            
            
            swfobject.embedSWF("menu.swf", "swf", "100%", "430", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
        </script>

```

any help greatly appreciated.
