Hi,  
I an trying to get a flash .swf loaded in Visual Basic 6 to communicate with the host (VB 6).

I know all about fscommand, and the VB “set variable in flash” method, but am trying to get it working with External Interface, whitch I know it can be done, but I don’t know how.

Could someone please help me on how to communicate between Flash and VB6 back and forth, with External Interface ?

Thanks in advance…
