Hi Gopinath--
Don't let Mark scare you off ;-)
It's not that hard--just don't use JavaScript. It's easy to get a parameter
from HTML.
Put this in your Director movie:
if externalParamName ("sw1") = "sw1" then
myVar = value(externalParamValue("sw1"))
end if
Then in the HTML, put this:
<param name = sw1 value = "1">
<embed src="mymovie.dcr" sw1 = "1"></embed>
You'll have a bunch of other stuff in the embed--it pretty much defines
your Shockwave movie. You do need to repeat the parameter there for
Netscape, though. IE gets it from the param declaration earlier.
Cordially,
