[F8] FlashVars and validity??

Foregoing the hooplah and whatifs, I make my sites to be w3c compliant, as this helps my reach and visitor frustrations.

I have taken the time to add the ActiveX controls to prevent the IE/EOLAS blunder crap, and in the process found a way for my site to be viewable on all major Browsers, AND be HTML 4.01 Strict valid.

However, to do this I have removed the <embed> tags from my HTML coding.

No problems really until I want to add FlashVars to my code.

I have a dynamic text box that is my whole movie. So instead of making a new movie every day I can go into the source and change the text via FlashVars.

My question though, is this works perfect when using the non-valid coding. When I validate my code and add the ActiveX controls the FlashVars don't work anymore.

Anyone know a way around this?

No one? Okay.. what if we forego the validity part and just make the FlashVars work with the EOLAS ActiveX controls?

Ideas on that one?

P.S. I am using Flash8 (can use MX2004Pro) and am using the currently not avaliable ActiveX Control fix from AskTheGeezers post in the newbie forum (was located here )

Well I did it! Valid no <embed> works on all browsers that support Flash AND I got FlashVars to work.

I had to go down to transitional validation but I am also still working on it. I have only four errors left to get it strict valid as well!
