ExternalInterface.call() and IE7

Recently I came across a problem with a swf that was failing to get a value from a form in the HTML wrapper using IE7 while it worked as intended in Safari and FireFox. Adobe’s AC javascript embed code (no object or embed tags) is used in the HTML wrapper and ExernalInterface.call() is used in the swf (AS3). The fix was to ensure the id attribute in the embed code was set to a different value than the src and name attributes. Thanks to Adobe Live Docs for clues that saved hours of hair pulling.
