passing parameters from html links to flash

[vinceybaby]

is it possible to pass parameters from a html link for flash to use? basically, when a user clicks on a link, it loads a generic flash file and using this variable loads the appropriate text file of other variables.

cheers

I am not an html expert or anything but I don't think this is possible without a server side script of some sort. You would have to change the object and imbed tag and insert variable info into them.

You could try adding

id = "movieName" in the object tag (where it has the width and height of the movie) and name = "movieName" swLiveConnect = "true" in the embed tag then make a link like

<a href="javascript:window.document.movieName.SetVari able('variableName', value);">click here</a>

to pass a variable to the movie. This will only work on IE on the PC and in some (swLiveConnect enabled) versions of netscape though.
