you've basically got 4 methods: 1) url variables - flash 5 can read variables in from the url used tio call the flash movie. This also includes url-style variables defined in the <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="spinbox.swf"> like this: <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="spinbox.swf?foo=1&bar=2">
2) javascript - javascript in the calling page can be used (with caution against browser differences) to set variables and even control movie playback. 3) XML - flash 5 can parse XML files (albeit slowly) to retrieve variables. XML parsing speeds in FMX much faster 4) LoadVariables from external textfile (my fav for Flash versions below MX) - a textfile can be read in by flash and variables retrieved this way. for information on all these methods go see http://www.flashcfm.com (which strangely seems to be down at the moment). methods 3 and 4 are explained in the flash documentation and theres more help on them in the flashkit.com tutotials available here: http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dynamic_Content/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Kola Oyedeji [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 09 September 2002 12:17 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [ cf-dev ] CF5 and flash integration > > > > Hi > > I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find any responses in > the archives.
