How bout just sending the variable in a query string when you

call the Flash movie? This solution is simple and works with

all browsers, unlike FS Commands, JavaScript, etc...


<embed src="quiz.swf?quiznum=5" etc...>


The above line sets a variable in quiz.swf called "quiznum" to a

value of "5". You could use ASP or similar to generate the HTML

page containing the URLs, or use JavaScript's document.write()

method to alter the HTML (this method is less compatible,

though...)
