    Default IE flashplayer plugin fails to pass variable!

    hi evr1
    got a real problem that I can't figure out
    I am trying to make a menu for a site, made of 5 frames, each one containg an
    highlighted button and 3 unhighlighted ones, plus a first frame containing all
    4 unhighlighted. In the first frame I got an AS such this:

    stop();
    if (root.fr) {
    frame=_root.fr;
    gotoandstop(frame);
    }

    and in the corresponding HTML page, I use "FlashVars" appended to the object
    and embed tags, such as described in technote 16417, to pass the variable "fr"
    which is the frame number the movie has to display when opening such HTML page.
    finally, every button has an AS that opens the desired HTML page with the
    "geturl" function.
    well, when I open the page with FIREFOX, no problem, the menu goes to the
    right frame and opens the right page when clicking on either button.
    BUT! In Internet Explorer, clicking on one button opens the right page, but
    displays ALWAYS the second frame of the movie!!!!
    How can it be? anyone ever got this problem, or knows how to figure it out?
    the site is online in his beta-version at the URL
    [url]http://lnx.over-all.com[/url]

    thanks and best regards
    teo.
