I’m posting this up here because I hope someone will find it and discover they did not do something stupid, Adobe did. Basically if you want to use any flashvars in Flash CS5, you must use the work around provided here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/644057. Basically the new built in preloader (which I’m not sure if you can disable or not) causes all flashvars specified to be set to undefined. Not a handy feature at all. Not sure how that one slipped passed testing, unless no one uses flashvars anymore, but that must not be case then is it?
