Indeed - I am surprised no else has reported anything and am willing to accept that this may be down to something very stupid that I'm doing - what raised the alarm bell for me was that changing only the swfobject version to 2.1 made the flashvars work.
The Dynamic publishing test link you provided does work - so now I'm really confused. Could this be a flex / swfobject issue ? I have tested this in 3 ways on 3 machines machine 1 - windows XP SP2 IE6 machine 2 - windows XP SP3 IE7.0.5730.13 machine 3 - windows XP SP3 IETester (buggy test app with a bunch of IE ActiveX plugins IE5.5 IE6 IE7 IE8) It fails on all 3 setups in IE6 and IE7. I am wondering what happens if people visit my test link - does it work for them ? - and if there could possibly be an issue with the way Flex loads the vars. I didn't think for a minute that swfobject was released without testing - that is why I am very surprised by what I'm seeing here. In the mean time I have concocted an ExternalInterface call to pull in the flashvars object as a workaround - but I figured this needed reporting.
