Communicate variables between clips (and html pages)

Hi, I made a menu and when I clic on a link, I want it to send the information to my other menu wich display 3 cathegory of image… To show the image for the good category, I must recieve it from the menu… but I tried to trace the name of the variable and it said undefined… shall I writte a path or something… I tought about sending it to a text box written in white, then to get what is written in it with the other clip… but… honestly… I’m not shure how to do that.

What’s the most prophessional way to do it?

And my other question is cause I’ll need to send the variable about the language when I load another html page (my swf is in it). How can I send and recieve it without making it appear in the url…

I’M not very at ease with flash yet… thanks for the support.

You send me to a tutorial that explain me how to draw boxes. I can find the tutorial on my own. But I can’t understand them all alone.

I think I solved this problem… by
_root.name-of-the-clip.name-of-the-var;
that way, I tell to my new clip where is the var that I want it to use.

God I resumed it in two line. And I always writte romans! I don’t wanna be impolite. But a link to a tutorial doesn’t help at all.

My new problem is that I don’t know what is the code to send my variables

  1. to an html page
  2. to aswf
    and I have no idea how to use them once I send them…

I’m a little desesperated. My teacher doesn’t reply my emails. I would be really gratefull to have an example of the code… is this possible to send variables and to use them using actionscript. I don’t wanna (and can’t) use php, asp or anything…

god should I use a cookie? but I need to pass many informations and I can make only one cookie… I don’t want the var to appear in the url…

How can I post my variables and use them with html and a new swf?

thanks… and please tell me something… I saw so many tutorials… and they doesn’t give an example… all they do is to explain how to draw a text box. sigh
