You can send variables into you flash movie with swfobject using the
flashvars object:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="800"
height="600" id="myFlashContent">
<param name="movie" value="some.swf" />
<param name="flashvars"
value="libraryxml=<%=LocationOfXmlFile%>" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="some.swf" width="800" height="600">
<param name="flashvars"
value="libraryxml=<%=LocationOfXmlFile%>" />
<!--<![endif]-->
alt content
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
Check out the code generator to help you format the code correctly:

Subject: Re: The strangest error I even got with SWF Object. Is this a bug?
1) To load the XML file from the correct location I think I could send
it as a parameter to the Flash Movie?
Maybe something like:
Parameter = "<%=LocationOfXmlFile%>"
The part between <% is server code. I am just not sure how to
incorporate this on the SWFObject so I can read it in my SSP Flash
movie.
2) My XMl file is created on the fly at runtime. I have something like
this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gallery>
<album title="Intro" lgPath="../../../Plugins/SlideShowPro/
Promotion/Intro/Large/">
<img src="bfb05630-40f9-4877-af70-5ef443708669.jpg" />
</album>
</gallery>
I can easily incorporate absolute paths in this ... no problem.
So the problem now is (1). Any idea?
Thank you for the tips on www.fiddler2.com and
www.kevinlangdon.com/serviceCapture
