Passing Variables to Flash

Hey Everybody,

I’m new here, but I’ve used the site many times for flash research, so I thought I’d do the right thing and join up.

I’ve been having an issue using the Passing Variables to Flash tutorial inside a single frame flash document. The document itself contains a MC that works using the [url=“http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm”]Preloader & Transition of Dynamic Files tutorial. I have used the _x and _y properties to movie an image Inside each of the preloaded movies.

The code for the first frame of the document I am trying to pass the variable to, is as follows:

if (movie=="" or movie==1) {
_root.section = “image1.swf”;
}
if (movie==2) {
_root.section = “image2.swf”;
}
if (movie==3) {
_root.section = “image3.swf”;
}
else {
_root.section = “image3.swf”;
}

However, when the movie is run, the code will always go to the else, no matter what the parameter specified in the URL is. I can only assume this has something to do with the fact that it is looping on the first frame.

Thanks in advance,

dreeft.
