afaik, you have to dump them out individually by name (either by

creating a textfield for each one, in which case they'll be dumped

automatically, or if they're named something like thisvar1 - thisvar50,

you could use a fake array loop to concatenate and dump them out to a

single textfield).

Don't know anything about Director/Flash communications so can't

comment, but it must be a sane idea if there's something you need from

Director that Flash won't do.
