hi guys & gals,

i noticed on the [Jeep.co.uk](http://Jeep.co.uk) website, in the used car section they used a flash movie to display the page header, but the text is generated after the flash src.

like this:

title.swf?pagetitle=GENUINE APPROVED USED&pagesub=USED CAR ASSURANCE FROM JEEP

and it results in:

![](http://www.simple.org.uk/jeep_flash.jpg)

any ideas :q:

t.i.a.

Neil

i see aspx pages. eitherway if you pass url strings from one page to another or on post back pass these variables to the flash embed object within the page/pages. Have flash read these vars and display you text. If you have a web page called test.asp  
and within it you have an embed movie testFlash.swf…you could:  
call test.asp?car=USED&color=brown&year=2004  
the asp page would pass these vars to the embed tag and flah would receive them.  
the embed tag within the page would:  
title.swf?car=USED&color=brown&year=2004  
looks like dynamic text fileds and masks once in flash
