Hi

Does anyone know how to pass a “page” variable thorugh link to a main .swf file (index.swf)?

The file would normally load “home.swf” into it if accessed by [www.homepage.com](http://www.homepage.com).  
But I would like to able link to a different .swf determind by a varible like “page = contact.swf”

Hope I make sense… :sen:
