on the page EMBEDDING FLASH
is written "& ? %26"
this does not work
I tried
a) player.swf?file=Test5.mp4%26image=preview.jpg
b) <embed src="player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="470" height="440" flashvars="file=test5.mp4%26image=preview.jpg"></embed>
You do not urlencode the concatenation operator "&".
You DO urlencode any of the "special" characters ( & = ? ) that appear within a URL.
Example:bc.. flashvars="file=test5.mp4&image=preview.jpg"
Example with "special" characters in the file URL:bc.. test.mp4?id=3&load=A6FG33
Would be urlencoded as:bc.. flashvars="file=test.mp4%3Fid%3D3%26load%3DA6FG33&image=preview.jpg"

<embed src="player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="470" height="440" flashvars="file=Test5.mp4%3Fimage%3Dpreview.jpg"></embed>
nor url get command.
http://www.xxx.com/player.swf?file=Test5.mp4%26image%3Dpreview.jpg
I wourd be interested to escape the ampersand in the url to display the preview image.
%26 for '&' is great solution. Thanks for saving my time.
