Hi all,

I am a basic flash user, and I have created a flash movie that uses a flashvar in its embed and as a param in its html code that tells it what to do…

\<param name=“flashvars” value=“blahblah” /\>  
\<embed src=“n.swf” flashvars=“blahblah” Great, it loads the flashvars when the movie loads.

What I want to do now, is to have a JavaScript in the html page that would have the effect of changing the flashvars in the movie.

So for example, a drop down list that lets me select any number of vars and refresh the flash movie to show them. If i need to reload the movie, so be it. Can anyone help?
