totally possible,


but there's difference in browsers (surprise) so there's not one solution

that i think will work on all platforms \ browsers.


here's what i've done before works in ie pc.


make sure each swf in the page are named something unique that you'll use

to call from actionsctipt and swLiveConnect is enabled (below).


NAME="swf1"

swLiveConnect="true"


NAME="swf2"

swLiveConnect="true"


in this example swf1 has a button with an action that sends a variable

called foo to swf2, swf2 also has a variable called foo


On (Release)

      Get URL ("javascript:parent.window.document.swf2.SetVariable('foo',

'"&foo&"');")

End On


i think there's an example floating around, if not i'll post the one i have.


here's something that's useful.
