hi, just found a way to send variables to a pop up (or similar) without having to use a server side language like php or asp.
it's a java script property called document.location.search and is "The sub string that follows the question mark is the query string or form data." example: example getURL in the mother swf: getURL('javascript:OpenWin("popup.html?someVar=' + someVar + ', 700, 400");') and the code inside popup.html var fo = new FlashObject("main.swf" + document.location.search, "fotester", "700", "400", "7"); as i have been using php like a sucker all these years, this can make it simpler for me to work. perhaps it can help someone else. kalle -- www.inlovewith.com inlovewith ltd. kalle thyselius linnégatan 76, stockholm, sweden + 46 707 602 600 inlovewith you _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
