I’m trying to use some functions in Director by wrapping a Flash movie in a Director movie, both running locally as a projector. I need to pass a string variable from the Flash movie into the Director instance. Here’s what Macromedia has to say on the subject: Using GetURL: (any string) Requires the Director movie to have a behavior called ‘on GetURL me, stringVariable’ When using a movie script instead of a behavior the ‘me’ is not needed in the above handler. The ‘stringVariable’ value will be the holder for the passed value from Flash (i.e. stringVariable = \). This method is executed every time a ‘GetURL’ event is issued in the Flash movie. Does anyone have any idea what the syntax would need to look like in the Flash movie? Thanks in advance! -Leo ---

Also, the Flash documentation states that ‘fscommand’ can pass variables to Director but I cannot find any documentation on how Director can receive these variables. I can only find examples that deliver data to Javascript. Thanks again! -L
