ASP variable read by flash

[JoeMcGarvey]

Hi,
Is there a way to have a flash movie read a variable from the ASP page it is embedded in?

I have an ASP variable called "color". This is a hex color value. I want the flash movie to change the color of a box to this value.

I am sure this has probably been posted before, but the Keyword Search is down on Tek-Tips.

Thanks in advance!!

Joe, I haven't worked with ASP, but I can tell you how Flash takes a variable from HTML. You think that can help?

anyway, here it is:

<OBJECT classid=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;
 codebase=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0&quot;[/URL]
 WIDTH=80% HEIGHT=95% id=&quot;r5&quot; ALIGN=&quot;center&quot;>
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=&quot;roulette.swf[red]?gameURL=http://127.0.01/servlet/Servlet&selfURL=roulette.html[/red]&quot;> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000><PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=exactfit> <EMBED src=&quot;roulette.swf[red]?gameURL=http://127.0.0.1/servlet/Servlet&selfURL=roulette.html[/red]&quot; quality=high bgcolor=#000000  WIDTH=80% HEIGHT=95% NAME=&quot;r5&quot; ALIGN=&quot;center&quot; SCALE=exactfit
 TYPE=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; PLUGINSPAGE=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot;></EMBED>[/URL]
</OBJECT>

gameURL

and

selfURL

are two variables that I can use in Flash after i declare them in the first frame like this:

var gameURL;
var selfURL;

oops. the formatting didn't work, it didn't make it red.

disregard the [red] [/red] inside the code, please. Assume that what's between them is actually red Diana.
