Hello,

I am using a movie published for Flash Player 6 (anything higher does not work) and load an external movie published for Flash Player 8 (anything lower and it will loose its effects)

var langdir:String = “Francais”;  
\_global.langdir = “Francais”;  
var langdir= "“Francais”;

I have tried the above the lines to pass the va “langdir” aka Language Directory to pass a variable define in the loading move to the loaded movie… none worked.

Does anyone know a way around this?
