I have created a swf that will sit in a Coldfusion page, and Im trying to work out how the hell to get variables from it. I know the loadVar etc, but it seems like that only works if you define a absolute document ie -"[[http://www.kirupa.com/forum/newthread.cfm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/newthread.cfm), \_root, GET]([http://www.kirupa.com/forum/newthread.cfm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/newthread.cfm), \_root, GET)", because the swf is a navigation bar, so the cfm it sits in cahnges all the time. Each cfm that wioll load around the swf is going to have a variable set inside it “absoluteX”. How do I load that variable into flash without having to name a specific cfm?

Please HELP!!!
