Re: FLASH: variables and the 'param' tag

[Helen Triolo]

Maybe what s/he means is the <PARAM> tag in the <OBJECT> section where

the swf is called?  It could look, eg, like <PARAM NAME=movie

VALUE="yourmovie.swf?var1=this%20string&var2=55">, meaning that the asp

file is passing two variables to Flash (var1="this string" and var2=55).

In that case, the variables should be available to your Flash movie when

it runs without you having to do anything (like Load Variables) to get

them.  Just do whatever you need to do with them (eg, display one in a

textfield or gotoAndPlay(var2), or whatever).


Regards,

Helen
