    You can't get a standalone .exe to accept variables because as far as I know the program excepts.. none..

    You can however pass variables via the flash standalone to other programs.. using the Expression commmand and the Chr(9) as a space.. (or technically TAB)

    There was a thread many months ago where someone was developing a VB app.. and had it set to take parameters.. but Flash just wouldn't send them.. He was researching a solution but never posted if he found one.. I suppose if you really needed some help, I could refresh my old VB skills and take a shot at getting a VB to accept a parameter via flash??

    Also..

    There are couple possible therotical ways that a Flash executable could accept a parameter..
    A. You have your program write to a text file and have flash read from a text file..
    B. You could download the Flash Player SDK modify it to suite your needs and then have it accept parameters..

    Yep that was the thread.. and now that I've looked at it again.. it appears even I tried to get a VB app to take parameters from flash but it just wouldn't..
