Thanks for the response, I'm not really trying to go between AVM2 and AVM3 for my actual product. Yes, opening a Flex app in Flash AMOUNTS to doing so, but that's just to try to get a better view of how to access the AVM3 variables.
All I'm trying to do is to gain access to some of the AVM3 variables in my Flex swf so that my EXE wrapper can communicate with the SWF. BTW... Are there any utilities available that would let me peer inside an AVM3 SWF? Thanks in Advance.
