Passing variable into flash via ASP

Navarone · August 16, 2007, 11:44am

I have a web page that has text links on the left and I need to pass into my flash piece a variable so flash knows what movie to play. (see attached)

How do I set the html link so that flash reads in the correct value?

I was thinking in my asp I would have something like
<a href=“aboutua.asp?movie=Chapter_1512K_Stream.flv”>

<%
if request(“movie”)= “” or request(“movie”)= “Chapter_1512K_Stream.flv” then
movie=“Chapter_1512K_Stream.flv”
elseif request(“movie”) = “movie=“Chapter_2512K_Stream.flv”” then
movie=“Chapter_2512K_Stream.flv”
…
end if
%>

my flash code
