hi all,

not sure how i go about this, i have set up a small flash file for a programmer with buttons, they have asked that i set up a paramter, like ‘param1’ in flash so that the getURL function in flash will load the param1, which links back to a URL that is defined outside of Flash… anyone have any ideas?
