How can flash recieve a variable

1

from a querystring? Is it possible?

2

CGI?

3

I can use asp and I can get into the same html page that contains my flash movie. How do I get the variable INTO the movie? I only know how to get it into a text box and I need it as a variable.

4

do a search of the forums for loadVariables

ok, but the question is: If I’m writing the variable to the same html file that the movie is embedded in. Here is the source, maybe that will clarify my question.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=“text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1”>
<TITLE>displaynews</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#000000" onload=“window.focus();”>
<div style=“visibility: hidden;”>
[COLOR=red]varnum=21[/COLOR]
</div<
<!-- URL’s used in the movie–>
<!-- text used in the movie–>
<!–<P ALIGN=“LEFT”></P>–<<OBJECT classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” name=“displaynews”

</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Normally I load information from a completely seperate file with no problem. The reason I have a problem this time is because I need the varible in this file because of the querystring.

Is there a way I can pass it using javascript?
