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. ---

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. \ \ \ \displaynews\ \ \ \
