hello all,
how can i pass a simple name=value pair into a movie? i've tried adding as param and appending onto file name bu ti'm doing something wrong. how do i pick up the value inside the movie?

if you edit the param name="movie" tag so it reads

<param name="movie" value="mymovie.swf?myvar1=hello&myvar2=world">

and then the src of the embed tag so it is

<embed src="mymovie.swf?myvar1=hello&myvar2=world"

in the movie you will now have 2 variables created myvar1=hello and myvar2=world

you can pass more variables separating them with & like,

myvar1=hello&myvar2=world&someothervariable=bleh

you could create these query strings dynamically using javascript or a server side script.

I've been using this same method and it worked great with the flash 5 player, but when I upgraded to the 6 player, it stopped working. What could the problem be?
