Boyd,
I think if you look up and use "SWFObject", you can accomplish this,
or "ASFunction" or maybe a mixture of both.
I thinking "ASFunction" would be better suited for what your needing.
Without doing more research I am guessing at which would be the exact
way,
but hopefully pointing you in the right direction.
I made the names links for convenience,
but those are just one of the resources out there.
HTH,
Karl

I have a .swf embedded in an html document and would like to pass

seem to get the reference to the .swf even with

SetVariable(varname, varvalue) command after I can reference the
embedded .swf with javascript. I try to do this using something like:
document.getElementById("menuprime").SetVariable("mymsg", "hello");

this is the html ...

This is likely something obvious but I am just not able to see it

Thanks for any advice.
