Flash javascript and Activecontent code

Question

I've got an animated chatbot that uses a variety of swfs and
phps and a big external JavaScript to work. It works fine with the
old style embed and object code, with the same variety of swfs and
phps and external JS.
But when I try to use the
<script src="AC_ActiveX.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
and I code the main Flash piece like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0',
'width','540','height','360','swliveconnect','true','src','whinbarnexp','quality','high',' pluginspage',
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie1','whinbarnexp'
</script>
The above broken into lines to make more readable here.
but when I run it it doesn't work right, and the error
console advises:
"movie1 has no properties."
and points to the first line of the big function in the
JavaScript "brain" of the chatbot:
shesaid=movie1.GetVariable("coder")
What am I doing wrong? It's got to be within this code since
the same "brain" file works fine with old style object/embed
coding.

Answer 1

Sorry Dan,
This has got nothing to do with the question I asked.
I know about the Microsoft "patch" and have already allowed
for it.
