You can talk to older SWFs via localconnection. There are also third-party solutions as well.

When the page opens I want to have these bar charts load. To get the bar chart to show a persons progress I'd like to create a Flash movie (a small one of a bar chart, with 100 frames) and then pass a value to it, so if a person has completed 80% of the eLearning I'd like to pass in a value of 80 and then the flash movie would run to frame 80. Now this would be great if we had Flash 9, but we have Flash 8, so can I load a swf in the flex application screen and pass a value to it? Or is there an exam of a single bar chart which I can use to show someone progress. Thanks Stephen
