Hi guys,
This is really puzzling me. Ive done a search through the forums with not much help.
I have 2 HTML files with embedded flash movies.
One HTML file is the main area (main.html) with a flash movie called gallery.swf which has a grid of thumbnail pictures, and the second HTML file (popup.html) is a pop up chromeless window for enlarged images depending on the thumb’s the user clicks. Essentially I need to pass variables to popup.html and ulimately its embedded movie enlarged.swf. These variables will basically be id’s of the clicked thumbnails which I will use to locate the correct enlarged images on the server to load into into a container clip within enlarge.swf.
How can I do this??? please help!

Well I eventually figured out how to do it myself, but anyone out there who is looking at this thread and wants to know a way of passing varaibles between too completely seperate swf files (ie 2 swf’s embedded into seperate html pages) the best tutorial I found was one by [Actionscript.org](http://Actionscript.org)’s Jesse Stanford. Jesse is an absolute gun (probably partly to do with being an Aussie just like me !).
here’s the tute
