Hey Guys…

Ive been hitting my head against the wall all day on this issue… (and im starting to bleed…)

I need to be able to pass a variable from the Html page itself , to the Flash movie on that page… using the \< PARAMETER NAME=“FlashVars” Value=“myName=Darrel”\> tag in html.

I tried searing thru macromedia, and this forum looking for examples that work but have failed. (please dont give me the link to macromedia i know that link too well) …

I just need help…

Im using Flash MX (not 2004) and flash player 6…

Is this possible? or am i just wasting my time on an impossible task.

And if it is possible, can you send me an example that has a html page and a flash movie with the action script so i can assimulate the code?

Much advanced Thanks.
