Okay I’m not very good at explaining things. but I’ll try. I have a flash movie cast.fla in the first frame I have this action  
[AS]if (cast eq “aline”) {  
gotoAndStop(2);  
} else if (cast eq “alisa”) {  
gotoAndStop(3);  
} else if (cast eq “buzz”) {  
gotoAndStop(4);  
} else if (cast eq “caroline”) {  
gotoAndStop(5);  
} else if (cast eq “claudio”) {  
gotoAndStop(6);  
} else if (cast eq “david”) {  
gotoAndStop(7);  
} else if (cast eq “eric”) {  
gotoAndStop(8);  
} else if (cast eq “estaurdo”) {  
gotoAndStop(9);  
} else if (cast eq “frances”) {  
gotoAndStop(10);  
} else if (cast eq “garrett”) {  
gotoAndStop(11);  
} else if (cast eq “jared”) {  
gotoAndStop(12);  
} else if (cast eq “jessie”) {  
gotoAndStop(13);  
} else if (cast eq “kaleigh”) {  
gotoAndStop(14);  
} else if (cast eq “keiko”) {  
gotoAndStop(15);  
} else if (cast eq “kenny”) {  
gotoAndStop(16);  
} else if (cast eq “kortney”) {  
gotoAndStop(17);  
} else if (cast eq “lynese”) {  
gotoAndStop(18);  
} else if (cast eq “matt”) {  
gotoAndStop(19);  
} else if (cast eq “mike”) {  
gotoAndStop(20);  
} else if (cast eq “pablo”) {  
gotoAndStop(21);  
} else if (cast eq “rachel”) {  
gotoAndStop(22);  
} else if (cast eq “ray”) {  
gotoAndStop(23);  
} else if (cast eq “shing”) {  
gotoAndStop(24);  
} else if (cast eq “zoe”) {  
gotoAndStop(25);  
} else {  
stop();  
}  
[/AS]

I have a broken apart picture and static text in each of the frames.

Okay now on my webpage index.htm my html code for coldfusion is

```php
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="300" height="200">
        <param name="movie" value="cast.swf?cast=aline">
        <param name=quality value=high>
        <param name="menu" value="0">
        <embed src="cast.swf?cast=aline" width="300" height="200" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" menu="0"></embed> 
      </object>

```

and my second code is

```php

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="300" height="200">
        <param name="movie" value="cast.swf">
        <param name=quality value=high>
        <param name="menu" value="0">
        <embed src="cast.swf" width="300" height="200" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" menu="0"></embed> 
      </object>

```

The first code doesn’t work but second one does. but I know it has to work because when I do this

```php

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="300" height="200">
        <param name="movie" value="cast.swf?cast=alfred">
        <param name=quality value=high>
        <param name="menu" value="0">
        <embed src="cast.swf?cast=alfred" width="300" height="200" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" menu="0"></embed> 
      </object>

```

it stops at the first frame

If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Try using the FlashVars property. :-\

```php
<PARAM name=FlashVars value="cast=aline">
<EMBED src="cast.swf" FlashVars="cast=aline"></EMBED>

```

I think there’s a TechNote at Macromedia, you might want to search for it. 😉

**EDIT.** Found it. [http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/flashvars.htm](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/flashvars.htm)

Sorry… I’m clueless. ☹

By the way, the **eq** operator has been deprecated since Flash 5, you should use the **[==](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/actionscript_dictionary/actionscript_dictionary043.html)** operator. 😉

Well, the variables passed to the SWF are created in \_level0. Try to read the variable as \_level0.cast :-\

I’ve worked on a project that did something like cast I think. Does it load a variable into Flash using post variables?
