Hi,

I guess this has been discussed here before but I was unable to find the information, that’s why I’m going to ask ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/798/c985a958819d8917.gif)

I have an HTML page containing a linking image like this:

\<a href=“show.php?id=01”\>\<img src=“images/image\_01.jpg” alt=“First image”\>\</a\>

As you can see the image links to show.php transmitting the variable “id”.

The show.php file includes a Flash (version 8) movie. My question is how do I load the variable “id” into the flash movie. What I mean is:

- the user clicks the image\_01.jpg
- the new, show.php page opens
- the flash movie read the “id” (which is 01 in this particular case) an will display image\_01.jpg

Many, many thanks inadvance for your help!
