hey guys,

I’ve created an html/asp web page with a standard form that asks the user to enter their “username”. When the user does this and clicks submit, he is taken to another html page that contains a flash movie. I want this flash movie to display the “username” entered on the previous page.

I figure, I can make the username a session variable and then have the flash movie reference it. Is this possible? What would the actionscript look like?

Thank-you very much!
