You can modify the Perl script to send a URL encoded variable to Flash (if

there is a print location command in the script, comment it out as well).

All you need on the Flash side is the Load Variables command. That, with the

modified Perl script, should keep it in the movie.


I use various solutions ranging from Lasso, ColdFusion and Perl.
