I'm using dreamweaver template.. and part of my template is an swf file... and dynamically passing variables to it on runtime..

my problem is when i create webpages from templates, dreamweaver covernts my tags to url encoded formats..

Here's my code in the TEMPLATE: (Take notice of the code in BOLD)

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="770" height="220">
&lt;param name="movie" <b>value="../container.swf?&lt;? echo 'AA';?&gt;"</b>/&gt;
&lt;param name="quality" value="high" /&gt;
&lt;embed src="../container.swf?&lt;? echo 'AA';?&gt;" quality="high" pluginspage="www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="770" height="220"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;

and this is what i get after generating a page from that template

&lt;object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="770" height="220"&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" <b>value="container.swf%3F%3C%3F%20echo%20'AA';?%3E"</b>/&gt;
&lt;param name="quality" value="high" /&gt;
&lt;embed src="container.swf?&lt;? echo 'AA';?&gt;" quality="high" pluginspage="www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="770" height="220"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;

as you can see, the PARAM NAME code is MODIFIED and encoded... like the "&lt;" is converted to a "%3C" which is SOOOO ANNOYING.. is there a way to tell dreamweaver to leave them codes alone?!!! it's really messing things up for me.

thanks

PS
looked at my old sites using the same technique and they seem to have been left alone (not converted).. im using dreamweaver 8 now.. so it could be a DW8 issue..
