PLEASE HELP!!!

Is it possible to make the “movie value” a variable and do some javascript to assign it?

\<object classid=“clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000”  
codebase=“[http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0](http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0)”  
width=“738” height=“500” id=“Popup” align=“middle”\>  
\<param name=“allowScriptAccess” value=“sameDomain” /\>  
\<param name=“movie” value=“bannerads/Popup.swf” /\>  
\<param name=“wmode” value=“transparent” /\>  
\<param name=“scale” value=“exactfit” /\>  
\<param name=“quality” value=“high” /\>  
\<param name=“bgcolor” value="#333" /\>  
\<param name=“Popup” value=“true” /\>  
\<embed src=“bannerads/Popup.swf” name=“Popup” allowScriptAccess=“sameDomain”  
type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=“[http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer)”  
quality=“high” bgcolor=“FFFFFF” width=“738” height=“500” wmode=“transparent” align=“middle” /\>  
\</object\>

Can I change the above to be like:

\<param name=“movie” value=“bannerads/#variable” /\>

And assign the variable from within another flash file.

on(rollOver) {  
getURL(“javascript:assignvariable(Popup.swf)”);  
}

I’m just posting what I can find but somebody please tell me how to make the flash movie a variable that would change based on rollover form another swf

\<param name=“flashvars” value=“myVar=varValue”\>

and then in the flash all you have to do to call the variables is us  
\_root.myVar

Is it possible to make the embedded a swf a variable? When the page is loaded if the swf file is on the page some actionscript would be called on the first frame that would set the value of the other swfs variable

Plain and simple… I want this code

\<object classid=“clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  
codebase=“[http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0](http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0)"  
width=“738” height=“500” id=“Popup” align=“middle”\>  
\<param name=“allowScriptAccess” value=“sameDomain” /\>  
\<param name=“movie” value=“bannerads/Popup.swf” /\>  
\<param name=“wmode” value=“transparent” /\>  
\<param name=“scale” value=“exactfit” /\>  
\<param name=“quality” value=“high” /\>  
\<param name=“bgcolor” value=”#333” /\>  
\<param name=“Popup” value=“true” /\>  
\<embed src=“bannerads/Popup.swf” name=“Popup” allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"  
type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage="[http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer)"  
quality=“high” bgcolor=“FFFFFF” width=“738” height=“500” wmode=“transparent” align=“middle” /\>  
\</object\>

to display whatever movie is called from another swf on the same page. So instead of hard coding the Popup.swf like it is above it would be a variable that would be changed based upon whatever swf on the page gives it.
