FLASH: Passing Variables through a frameset...

[Bryan Rieger]

Hello,


I've got a bit of a dilemma...

We have a swf file that on selecting a button will launch a new window,

passing a variable to the next swf file, that will then jump to the

appropriate screen. Here's the catch.


The new window is a frameset as follow


frameset

    topFrame

        Flash file jumps to label as set by incoming variable

    /topFrame


    mainFrame

        Content (html) in this frame is set by label in the top frame

    /mainFrame

/frameset


So my question is - how do we go about passing our variable from our

triggering Flash movie to the Flash movie contained in 'topFrame'. BTW -

using Perl, CF or ASP is out of the question as our BD people want to be

able to demo it on their laptops.


It seems that the variable is getting dropped after being passed to the

frameset.


Any help greatly appreciated.


Cheers,
