Having trouble with FlashVars and CS3?
Apparently there was some kind of mixup when they put together the Flash CS3 documentation because there is no mention of editing AC_FL_RunContent to get FlashVars to work.
I’ll state it here for anyone who is searching for answers after 2 hours of confused testing. To use FlashVars you have to (in addition to what the CS3 docs say) add two arguments to the AC_FL_RunContent call in your HTML, specifically 'FlashVars' and 'key=value&key2=value2&...etc' (you know, the actual vars).
Granted, to any seasoned Flash developer this gotcha is probably known, but as this is the first ActionScript I’ve touched in a long time I was bitten.
