In these days of austerity along with relative stress about incurring debt, some people balk about the idea of employing a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise as well as pay for any occasion, preferring, instead to rely on the particular tried along with trusted way of making repayment – cash. However, if you’ve got the cash on hand to make the purchase 100 %, then, paradoxically, this is the best time to use the credit cards for several causes.

Thanks for posting this because it verifies exactly what we’ve been dealing with. I’m going to repost on my blog about it.

yeah, i just posted about that recently: http://www.visible-form.com/blog/ie-doesnt-pass-query-parameters-properly-on-file-redirects . Note that this is an issue with IE, not Flash Player.

Luckily we were in a position where we only needed one particular variable in the redirect, so we wound up duplicating the same file with a different name, and using the loaded file name to determine what to do. Other than that, you’re right, you need to build a rest-style url you can parse out to get your vars. At least that’s the only way I know of.

Yes indeed though I didn’t mention it above, we’ve been using both object and embed tags, the setup is identical in both regarding parameters being passed.

I may have pulled out the wrong part from the description, but you’re aware that the only reason we have an OBJECT tag is because that’s what Microsoft decided to use years ago, and later pushed through the W3C, right?

I know for awhile IE/Mac used to read the EMBED, and there’s been some confusing talk about “embed” after Silverlight builds started appearing, but if it’s actually in the EMBED, then have you tried putting that data in the OBJECT tag too…?
