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... -- Aidan Whitehall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental +44 (0)1695 51775 ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
