[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hi there…[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I am having some problems with the idea of passing values from one swf to another.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Lets say, I have A.swf which loads B.swf .[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I am trying to load or display b.swf and at the same time pass a variable to b.swf when a button in A.swf is pressed.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]But I want to load b.swf as b.html and at the same time display the “new” text.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Something like:[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]

```auto

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]on(release)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]{[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] m_var_in_b.text = “hi there”;[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman] getURL(“….b.html”, _blank); //trying to open the html, that has the b.swf file, with the new text: “hi there’ inside of the b.swf;[/FONT][/SIZE]
