running out of ideas here, although i dont know why externalinterface didnt work for you, unless you are not allowed to touch the code of the flex swf and recompiling it to expose the vars inside to the wrapping exe. we did that in a VB-C++ and flex project - i had thought it will work for swfkit.
anyway, i dont know if this will help but in case you dont know, there is a way similar to using _root in a flash swf: MovieClip(mx.core.Application) the movieclip casting is just so the compiler wont nag you. Im not sure if that's what you really need, but it might help point to the right way :P May the force be with you :D --- stevekpeak8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I really appreciate the good ideas. > > I tried this approach, and it (unfortunately) didn't > work. > > What I really need, however is merely to be able to > find out how to > correctly notate the SCOPE of variables in the SWF, > and whether I > need to do anything specific to EXPOSE them in the > SWF file. > > Thanks, > > Steve > > > --- In [email protected], leds usop > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > have you tried using FABridge or externalinterface > > instead? that is assuming of course swfkit > supports > > javascript. > > > > > > --- stevekpeak8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Thanks for the response, > > > > > > I'm not really trying to go between AVM2 and > AVM3 > > > for my actual > > > product.
