I am using FLASHVARS to pass a variable (Status) from ASP to Flash.

This piece of Flash (named Header), calls another SWF (named InOutPencil) using this command:

**\_root.currMovie = “InOutPencil.swf”;  
container.loadMovie(\_root.currMovie);**

My problem occurs when I try to use the Variable ‘Status’ in the **InOutPencil** SWF (below).

**if (Status == “Login”) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(1);  
}**

I need a way of passing the value of the variable ‘Status’ from \*\*Header \*\*to **InOutPencil**.

Can anybody help?
