Passing variable swf to swf

1

Hi-

I am able to pass a variable from an html link that loads a separate html file and instructs the embedded file to go to a specific frame.
But - I now need a link within an swf file on one page to open a new page and tell that swf to start on a specific frame and it is not working. Here is the code I use for the first example - works like a champ:

html file 1

<a href="fullpage.html?stateVar=19">Go here</a>

html file 2 swf embed code with variable info:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        // <![CDATA[
        
        var so = new SWFObject("yourSWF.swf", "sotester", "500", "500", "8", "#FF6600");
        so.addVariable("stateVar", getQueryParamValue("stateVar"));
        so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
        so.write("flashcontent");
        
        // ]]>
    </script>

code in my swf that helps it get to that specific frame that was passed in:

trace(stateVar); gotoAndStop(stateVar); // etc...

all works - BUT when I try to use a link from an embedded swf on page 1 instead of a html link - it does not work. Here is the code on my button in that swf:


on (release) {
        
        getURL("fullpage.html?stateVar=19");

}

any help so appreciated!
