i would really appreciate it if you are on a mac, to give me the following info:

make a new .fla (in flash 5 preferencially as i am using flash 5 to develop at the moment...but mx will do if you don't have it...just let me know which you use)

make a dynamic text box. give it the variable "temp" (or whatever) and make sure you allow selectability

actionscript:
temp = _url;

now save your .fla to your desktop

make a .swf so there's a .swf there along side it

then go and publish a webpage with your new .swf embedded, so now you have 3 files on your desktop (html, swf, fla).

this is the info i need:
when you run the .swf by itself, copy and paste the entire contents of the dynamic text box. call this *swf*
when you run the .html file, copy and paste the entire contents of the dynamic text box. call this *html*

what'd i'd like to know is:

*swf* = ___________________________
*html* = ______________________________

thanks so much in advance!
