Inserting data into Flash is really quite easy.
1. Use the text tool to create a text area, setting text options to "input
text" and give the variable a name, say "firstname".
2. At the point in the (frame) timeline where you want the input text to be
dynamically populated, create an action script with the single line
loadVariablesNum("flashdata.cfm", 0);
3. Create a cfm template containing the following:
<cfset fn = "Horatio">
<cfoutput>
&firstname=#URLEncodedFormat(fn)#
</cfoutput>
4. Publish the move, which will generate a .swf file and an html file.
5. Watch it work.

Subject: Dynamically inserting text into Flash via Cold Fusion
Does anyone know how to get a variable from CFSET or a query into a text box
in Flash.
Would like to be able to dynamically update the text in the Flash movie.
Have looked around and found nothing so far that does a decent job on
explaining this process.
