Hi,I’m using Flash MX.

I have a HTML frameset with preloader in the one of frames.  
It shows loading progress of main.swf.  
When preloader finishes main.swf opens in the same window.  
What I want is to pass variable from preloader to main.swf as soon as main.swf is loaded.

something like this: in preloader code  
if (percent == 100){  
var z=1;  
getURL(“main.html?z”,"\_top",“GET”)// this is not working…

then in main.swf:first frame code  
if (z==1){  
…  
}

regards,

Joakim
