[FONT=Courier New]Hi guys [/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New]what i want to achive in as3 looked like this in as2:[/FONT]

```auto

on (release) {
    getURL(link1);
}

```

[FONT=Courier New]the link1 was an expression. And in html I could change the url to whatever I wanted without having to go back to flash.[/FONT]

```auto

[FONT=Courier New]<script>insertFlash('/flash/my_movie.swf?link1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com', 300, 300);</script>[/FONT]

```

[FONT=Courier New]I have looked for hours and I cant find what I need. Most of the articles of “getUrl” in As3 are focusing adding the url straight in the flash with NavigateToUrl and opening it in new window (\_blank) etc.[/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New]But can I send a variable to html/php that I can change in there? [/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New][/FONT]  
[FONT=Courier New]Thanks.[/FONT]
