Passing URL variables to Flash doesn't work in Firefox and Safari

I'm trying to pass a variable from my ASP page to Flash via a URL so that the flash movie knows which page is being displayed.

This works fine in IE but doesn't in FF or Safari.

I'm still learning Actionscript so any help would be appreciated. Tx in advance.

The HTML:
 
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="165" height="500" id="urlvariables" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="components/navbar.swf?page=<%=pagenum%>">
<embed src="components/navbar.swf" width="165" height="500">
</embed>
</object> 
 
 
The Actionscript 2.0:
 
pagetitle = _level0.page;
