Hi
I am using swfobject to check the Version of a users Flash Player.
I have one swf which is called by swfobject, it is published in Flash Version 6 in order to give users with older Flash Players the chance to see something in Flash and to let them do a so called ExpressInstall (auto update of Flash, available from Version 6.65).
Once the version-check passed, another Flash file gets loaded using LoadMovie. This second file is published in Flash 8 and contains the main application.
As it is the first file which is called from the HTML-file (using swfobject), I have to pass variables from the HTML to the first and from the first to the second Flash file.
Unfortunately, the variable passing between the two Flash files does not work, if the Flash version is different. If I use Flash 8 to publish the first Flash file, the variable passing works fine, but then it does not show up correctly in older Flash versions. If I use Flash 6 to publish the first Flash file, it shows up correctly, but the variable passing does not work…
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dominik
