Help writing javascript with c:out tag

Question

Hi
I'm having trouble mixing javascript and jstl and could use some pointers!
I need to write a flash object tag on the fly using javascript, and to also use <c:out> to define the flashvars parameter.
So for example, at the top of my page I do something like this:
<c:set var="thispage" value="home" scope="request"/>
and then later, in javascript I have something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0','width','1017','height','712','id','index','align','middle','src','index', 'quality','high','bgcolor','#E9E8EB','name','index','allowscriptaccess','sameDomain', 'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer', 'movie','index','flashVars','page=<c:out value=${\22thispage\22}/>' ); //end AC code
</script>
NOTE: the relevant part of this script is this area:
'flashVars','page=<c:out value=${\22thispage\22}/>'
The issue isn't the javascript; this all works fine and content is getting pulled into flash. The problem is that the content getting pulled in is literally "<c:out value..." blah blah..., not the variable that I had earlier assigned to it.
In another thread I read that I need to request the variable from the app/session scope, but I'm not 100% sure of how this all works out. I have tried several things and it's either my jstl or encoding issues that keep causing failures. Assistance for a noob is appreciated!

Certainly it is possible to do I18n with both struts and JSTL.
With struts bean:message tag, you need to declare the application properties file in your struts-config.xml
<message-resources null="false" parameter="com.locale.equipment"/>
What is your properties file called?
Where have you put it?
