Flash map works with dynamic url, but not with htacess friendly url

[bntcode]

Hi,

I've got a flash based heat map going on my website. The dynamic page works perfectly:  http://www.babynametrain.com/name-map.php?name_var=noah&gender=boy

 

So that works.  Now, I wanted to make the url friendly with htaccess, like this:

http://www.babynametrain.com/heatmap/boy/noah/

 

So, I put a line in my htaccess file:

RewriteRule heatmap/boy/([^/\.]+)/?$ name-map.php?name_var=$1&gender=boy

 

However, the friendly URL doesn't load the map.

 

Here is the code on the name-map.php page, related to the flash:

 

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#ver sion=10,0,0,0" width="550" height="340">

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />

<param name="movie" value="http://www.babynametrain.com/usmap.swf?xmlPath=map<?php echo $gender; ?>.php?name_var=<?php echo $HTTP_GET_VARS["name_var"]; ?>" /><param

name="quality" value="high" />

<embed src="http://www.babynametrain.com/usmap.swf?xmlPath=map<?php echo $gender; ?>.php?name_var=<?php echo $HTTP_GET_VARS["name_var"];?>" quality="high" width="550"

height="340" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false"

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" />

</object>

 

 

I'm sure I'm just missing something simple and obvious, but I'm not seeing the problem.

 

FYI - I did make the references to the usmap.swf file from relative to absolute thinking this would fix things, but it hasn't.

 

Thanks in advance!!
