A bug we just found with the IE flash player:
When you load a swf from a URL that does not return the actual swf but responds with a redirect (302) to another URL where the actual swf is, the swf is loaded but paramters from the querystring of the redirected-to URL are not available to the swf.
i.e.
if you go try to load a swf from "http://mydomain.com/path/redirect?swfid=123"
when redirects to "http://swfhosting.com/pathtoswf/myswf.swf?param=val¶m2=val2"
The swf will load but will not be able to access "param" or "param2" as you might expect.
instead it will be able to see "swfid".
note: This does not happen with the FF flash plugin.
feel free to vote for fixing this bug and another one which seems related:
