It appears the FKC editor is adding html tags to the flash variables so that they become corrupted. This happens when the variables are LOADED even if they are not specifically changed. I have the FKC editor on my system to edit other content so I just cant get rid of it. I have not been able to disable it in the administration form. Well I can switch to a plain text editor but the thing has already added HTML code to the flash variables string and now I have to remove it character by character. For a long string of variable this is really annoying. Even a short string cause you have to put in the flash variables you need EVERY time you edit any other settings. Can we not use some filter to strip off all the HTML tags before the string is saved? Then it would still be ugly but you would not have to reedit the flash variables on every change.
Thanks

I'm sure there's a way to instruct FCK Editor to ignore specific textareas. I don't think it's each module's responsibility to avoid being corrupted by other careless modules.

Well I'm not good enough a Data Miner to dig it out of the Drupal Site. all I have is Using Drupal for a general reference. It gives no way to turn off the fkc editor for content in the admin field -- of course that just means they didn't discuss it in detail. I'll look at the FKCEDITOR module and raise the question with them. I'm wondering however if you are using the right input field there must be some way to get pure text into the system with no markup. There are filter functions to protect against bad code let me see what I can find out from the FKC people.

Ok. I found the command. You have to exclude edit-zoomify-flashvars on the global configuration. For anyone who has this problem...
