That's basically what I'm doing now. (I used a different compiler
instead of MTASC, but the difference seems irrelevant here.)
But how do I read those variables from my UI running in the Flash
player? I want to load my movie and then read the variables. How do
you folks do that?
thanks!

I would sudgest the following.
1. you can simply define variables by creating an AS file the complier
parses. you can declare the vars in there
2. There is an existing open source complier called MTASC
(osflash.org has
lots of info on this)
hope that helps
