Hey,

I have used the kirupa tutorial for passing variables to a flash file, which in theory all makes sense, however my code only appears to partially work… this if from frame 1 of the movie:

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 = “intro2.swf”;  
}

It’ll load image3.swf if i use myfile.swf?movie=3 but any other variables will result in the else running (even no value). Any idea what is going on here?

Cheers,
