Netscape 5 and Javascript

I am trying to initialize some variables that I've fed into Flash using the following script:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'>
<!--
function flashObj() {
if(navigator.appName=="Netscape") {
return document.embeds[0]

} else {
return window['flashObject'];
}
}

var countvalues = "10,10,10,70";
var colourvalues = "ccff99,660099,778888,9900000";
var categoryvalues = "Hello,World,!,!";
var urlvalues = "http://www.msn.com,http://www.cbc.ca,http://www.thestar.com,http://www.ford.com";
var rollovervalue = "Test 1, Test 2, Test 3, Test 4";

flashObj().setVariable("count", countvalues)
flashObj().setVariable("colour", colourvalues)
flashObj().setVariable("category", categoryvalues)
flashObj().setVariable("url", urlvalues)
flashObj().setVariable("rollover", rollovervalue)
flashObj().Play()
-->
</SCRIPT>

I get all of the variables in Internet Explorer and the movie works perfectly but nothing shows up in Netscape. Does anyone know why?

Thanks,

Hi,

it used to work in Netscape 4 :(
Actually, you had to place some "swliveconnect=true" with your embed code to make it work, and netscape chose to no longer support that feature with the new browser. There will be a better way to do it, they say - sometime in the future
