Flashvars aren't Escaped, but should be #217

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently the Flashvars aren't escaped when they are prepended to the 
flash url (around line 636).

This causes a problem in IE when you try to use a string with quotes. 
Proper JSON would required to escape the quote with a backslash. However 
this causes a problem with the method used to add these vars to the flash 
player. The vars need to be escaped in order for the string to pass 
correctly into the player.

We have discussed this issue many times before, just Google the Issues and 
Discussion
Group archives.

We have good reasons not to escape flashvars within SWFObject. Adobe (for Flash
authoring) and we (for SWFObject authoring) have made the choice that URL 
encoding is
the responsibility of web authors.
