Are you simply opening the SWF file directly, or loading it into a wrapper
SWF?
If you're loading it directly... it's just
_root.var1
_root.var2
...
If you're loading it into a wrapper, like so:
_root.myClip.loadMovie("path/to/my/movie.swf");
once it loads, you'll be able to access the data with:
_root.myClip.var1
_root.myClip.var2
...
Make sure your movie has loaded. Use the MovieClipLoader class and assign
an onLoad handler to access the variables.

I don't have any problems getting variable assignments into the SWF
file.
I have problems accessing their values when I'm playing the movie.
The SWF contains some ActionScript in frame 1 which sets variables
like title="My First Movie", year=2006.
But how can my Flash player access those variables when it loads and
plays the movie? Are they in some oddball namespace like
_root.somethingOrOther....
thx, jeff
