Hey Guys,

I have a Mambo site with a flash nav, I wwas passing the item ID to flash so I could hightlight the currrent page but after applying the adobe fix, it no longer works and I can;t figure out how to pass the item id to flash now.

My old solution before the fix was

```php

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
	movieURL = document.location.toString();
	movieURL = movieURL.split("?");
	movieURL = 'templates/common_files/images/menu.swf?' + movieURL[1];
	document.write('<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="914" height="42">');
	document.write('<param name="movie" value="' + movieURL + '">');
	document.write('<param name="quality" value="high">');
	document.write('<param name="wmode" value="transparent">');
	document.write('<embed src="' + movieURL + '" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="914" height="42" wmode="transparent">');
	document.write('</embed></object>');
	</script>

```

which allowed me to get the ID from the url and use case statments to highlight the correct button highlight.

Anyone knwo of a way to encorporate this with the Adobe embed solution.

Cheers
