Hi Scot,

At first glance your embedding code looks correct. This may simply be a
scoping issue with the passURL variable. Try doing it like this instead:

var passURL:String = "home.htm";
press_btn.onRelease = function() {
var urlString:String = _root.passURL; getURL(urlString,"");
}

-OR-

var passURL:String = "home.htm";
press_btn.onRelease = function() {
var urlString:String = _level0.passURL; getURL(urlString,"");
}

If that doesn't work, you may want to prepend your flashvars with a
proper URL-encoded delimiter. Either:

<param name= "flashvars"

value="&passURL=http://www.scotsnyder.com/ivy/pdf/as_conference_call.pdf"/>

-OR-

<param name= "flashvars"

value="?passURL=http://www.scotsnyder.com/ivy/pdf/as_conference_call.pdf"/>


If all else fails, examine what's actually making it into the SWF. Use this:

for (var item in _level0) {
trace (item+' = '+_level0[item]);
}

This will require follow-up since it may be something else that's wrong
at this point.

Regards,
Patrick
