Just managed to find a solution to this nightmare (or at least a partial one!) using the new ExternalInterface Class in Flash 8 instead of SendVariable, or FSCommands

http://www.informit.com/guides/conte...eqNum=340&rl=1

Only problem is, the communication in the examples shown here work great from Flash to Javascript, but the example going from Javascript to Flash however doesnt work, as there seems to be a flaw in the sample code when triggered, it results in - "thisMovie is not defined" in the FireFox javascript console.

Not being a Javascript guru, I can't suggest a fix... Its probably quite easy...perhaps someone can, at least then we might have a solution to the SendVariables issue, even if it means having to use the latest player and authoring tool (v8)

Thanks in advance
