Flashparams Issues

Hi,

I've got a widget that takes an eventID flashparam to display certain details about that event. However I'm having some issues with how to incorporate it in my page. Essentially a user doesn't change it, the page will dynamically add the flashvar to the widget.

At the moment I am doing this like:

Code:

<object width="160" height="320" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="W4ae4f49c377e6b20" data="*url*" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all">
   <param name="movie" value="*url*" />
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/>
   <param name="allowNetworking" value="all"/>
   <param name="flashvars" value="eventID={@id}"/>
</object>

This doesn't work. I have the flashvar set up in my widget console as a hidden var with the value of 0. I went searching and found http://www.clearspring.com/docs/tech/widget-config/overriding-parameters. So i modified my code to be more like

Code:

<object width="160" height="320" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="W4ae4f49c377e6b20" data="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/*/*/*/*/eventID/{@id}*" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all">
   <param name="movie" value="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/*/*/*/*/eventID/{@id}*" />
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/>
   <param name="allowNetworking" value="all"/>
   <param name="flashvars" value="eventID={@id}"/>
</object>

Now this works sometimes, but not all the time? Is there some sort of caching going on, or am I doing something wrong?

I'm in Firefox 3.5.5 w/ flash 10,0,32,18 installed
