Shit... I'm going out of my tiny mind trying to do the most basic thing
in Flash. I've downloaded several tutorials on how to do the dynamic
Flash text-thang that Taz put up on Friday and each one of them seems to
miss something out.

If you want to pass a URL variable into the flash movie, do you
 - add a named dynamic text box in the Flash movie
 - write a line of AS to tell the movie to output someVar in the text
box... anyone tell me what you put?
 - rename the .html file Flash publishes to .cfm
 - append "?someVar=#URL.someVar#" to both ".swf" references in the .cfm
file
 - escape the # signs

Have I missed anything else?

It only took me the entire morning to figure out that Ctrl-Refresh
doesn't *actually* reload the .swf file in IE and that you've got to
delete the cache contents if you edit and republish... *sob* *sob*

Maybe a beer will help...
