OK, I’ve got an AS3 app we’ll call [COLOR=seagreen] **Game.swf** [/COLOR], which needs to access FlashVars from **[COLOR=royalblue]Game.html[/COLOR]**… easily done with

```auto
LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;

```

It turns out that [COLOR=seagreen] **Game.swf** [/COLOR] is heavy enough to require a preloader. The only effective way of doing that in AS3 is to load **[COLOR=#2e8b57]Game.swf[/COLOR]** into **[COLOR=darkorange]Preloader.swf[/COLOR]**, which is embedded in [COLOR=red] **Preloader.html** [/COLOR].

The question is, where do the FlashVars go (in [COLOR=red] **Preloader.html** [/COLOR]??), and how can [COLOR=seagreen] **Game.swf** [/COLOR] access those variables? Any suggestions on how to do this? Many thanks.
