I have used a few examples for using FlashVars in the embed code to tell a flash movie to go to a certain frame… None have been working… can some one take a look and see what I’m doing wrong:

\<OBJECT classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” codebase=“[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0)” WIDTH=“767” HEIGHT=“155” id=“flash” ALIGN=""\>  
\<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=“flash.swf?scene=1”\>  
\<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false\>  
\<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high\>  
\<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent\>  
\<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF  
\<EMBED src=“flash.swf?scene=1” menu=false quality=high wmode=transparent bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=“767” HEIGHT=“155” NAME=“flash” ALIGN="" TYPE=“application/x-shockwave-flash” PLUGINSPAGE="\<A href=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"\>\</EMBED"](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer%22%3E%3C/EMBED%22)\>[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)”\>\</EMBED\>  
\</OBJECT\>

and in the swf i have the following action script…

if (\_root.scene == 1) {  
gotoAndStop(25);  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay(1);  
}
