    There are a couple issues one has to deal with when using the satay method while supporting IE5 on Mac.

    One is the way that the flash vars get passed in to the movie. For some reason IE5 doesn't pass them in correctly if they are formatted in the flash6+ manner. Place them in Flash4 style as a query string at the end of the file name.

    Also, IE4 screws up any params in the page that deal with stage alignment and scaling. To fix this, put those settings directly in the flash file in the development environment (example: Stage.align="TL").

    Most of the issues seem to be related to the Flash Vars and params... good luck.
