I have been reading the posts on using HTML queries and used numerous other examples from other sites. I just cant seem to get it to work. I published a flash file and an HTML file from flash and then added the query “myVar = hello” after the filename both times in the HTML file. Here is the actionscript in my flash file: ```auto var paramObj:Object = root.loaderInfo.parameters; var tf:TextField = new TextField(); for(var i:int = 0; i < 4; i++){ tf = new TextField(); tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT; tf.border = true; tf.x = 50* i; addChild(tf); switch(i){ case 0: tf.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters.myVar.toString(); break; case 1: tf.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters.myVar; break; case 2: tf.text = paramObj.myVar.toString(); break; case 3: tf.text = paramObj.myVar; break; } } ``` And here is my HTML: ```auto LoadVars

You’ve added “?myVar = help” in the wrong place… \ tag is being replaced by the generated content from AC\_FL\_RunContent() function, so, if you have enabled JS in the browser (it’s enabled by default), than whatever you write inside \ wont affect how the page looks like. Just add the same variable here: ```auto .... 'movie', 'LoadVars', 'salign', 'TL', 'FlashVars', 'myVar=help' ); ..... ``` Or, better use SWFObject, It syntax permits adding flashVars separately, one variable at a time 😉 ---
