[thelist] IE losing flashVars on page refresh

Hi,

I have a flash movie which gets variables passed to it via flashVars. 
This works perfectly, until you refresh the page in IE when it doesn't 
seem to pass them to flash (and we then get errors because the movie 
needs these variables to work).

Anyone seen this kind of thing before and/or know what causes it?

Here's the embed code for the flash incase that sheds any light on the 
matter:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" 
width="100%" height="100%" id="WorldLoader" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie" value="http://example.com/WorldLoader.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="flashvars" 
value='iso=CA&urlPath=/map/[COUNTRY]/&selected_risktype=VALUE&USE_POPUP=&USE_LEGEND=&USE_SELECTOR=&USE_LOGO='>
<embed src="http://example.com/WorldLoader.swf"
    
flashvars="iso=CA&urlPath=/map/[COUNTRY]/&selected_risktype=VALUE&USE_POPUP=&USE_LEGEND=&USE_SELECTOR=&USE_LOGO=" 

    quality="high"
    scale="noscale"
    salign="lt"
    bgcolor="#ffffff"
    width="100%" height="100%"
    name="WorldLoader"
    align="middle"
    allowScriptAccess="always"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
</object>

Thanks in advance.
