Thread: sending variables from one movie to another

    sending variables from one movie to another

    Greetings friends,

    I would like to have some minor communication going on between two (or more) .SWF files.

    Could I have a .txt file that I record variable values into from one movie, then read the values from another movie?

    I want to create a navigation system with several buttons that all load the same SWF file, "movie.swf". But, depending on what button you press, after "movie.swf", it jumps to a different part of the movie.

    Interaction between SWF files, isn't that nice.

    I am not quite sure how to pull this off, especially in a direct and simple manner.

    Any tips or suggestions?

    I appreciate it very much, thank you!

    If you're going to write to a file, you're going to need a backend script (CGI/PHP/etc).

    Thanks Hannibal,

    How should I go about this?

    I have a little experience using perl/cgi scripts and no experience with PHP. Any generic script to do this? or a tute?

    Thank you very much!
