FLASH: Reading Variables from a page

[William Kersnowski]

First of all, two words "No Refresh"


I need to Read Variables into my Flash Movie from the

Page that it is embedded into.

Not on the "Loading" of the page  (then I could just use the embed tag)


I mean for example if I had an html combo box that set the value

of variable  x in the html/java  Can I make the flash movie "stare" at

variable x reacting to it when it changes (i.e. create a loop that

keeps looking to variable x in the html)?


How do I look to a variable in the html page???


A Macromedia guy personally showed me an example so I know it

can be done   but

don't have a copy and can't find....
