>From the looks of it (without going into too much detail), the flash movie
uses the loadvariables command on a callback url which calls the variables
from a unique server scoped variable created for that instance of the page
call only.
Put all variables into unique server scoped struct
Call Flash Movie with a callback to:
Seperate template that decides which component is being used and dumps the
server variables in a format Flash can read using its loadVariables command.
Dunno what it does from there cos I haven't got Flash 5 (I'll have to ask
our Macatistas (design bods) here in the office) but basically Flash is
reading the variables from a text file.
That's my basic understanding anyway. Might have got little bits wrong.
