FLASH: Setting Variables from a javascript function

[vg]

Greetings to Everybody,

        I have a rather annoying and complex problem here. Let's say there

is the following structure :

MovieA (_root)

|

|_Frame1 ActionScript : var text = "blablablabla"; fscommand ("getText");

    |

    |_MovieB (Instance Name = "bMovie") ActionScript :

       |

onClipEvent (load) {

       |

aText = _root.text;

       |

call ("script");

       |                                                                 }

       |_Frame1  ActionScript : var aText = ""; stop();

       |  |_MovieC

       |

       |_Frame2 (label = "script") ActionScript : function doSmt(text) {

                                                 --> actions eg

duplicateMovie MovieC};


doSmt(aText);


There is also a javascript function MovieA_DoFSCommand which contains :

                                        if ( command=="getText" ) {


MovieA.SetVariable("_root.text", "John Smith John Smith");

                                                                 }

I want MovieA when loads itself in the browser to take

the variable "text" from javascript function "MovieA_DoFSCommand"

and pass it to the variable "aText" and then do some actions in MovieB.

My ActionScript the only thing that does is to pass the content of the

variable " text ="blablablabla" "

to the variable bMovie and do some actions in MovieB.

I hope i was detailed and clear enough for someone to help me.



With Respect,
