How can I reference passed/set variables w/in AS? 1

[southbeach]

Hacking away trying to learn AS. Earlier today I did not know how to access the AS editor and now I wonder how can I reference a variable set using

var so = new SWFObject("mymovie.swf", "test", "100%", "550", "8", "#006600");
so.addParam("allowFullScreen", "false");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
[COLOR=red yellow]so.addVariable("variable1", "value1");[/color]
so.write("viewmovie");

As you can see, having set "variable1", how can I then access it within the movie?

What I am trying to do is get rid of some hard coded values and simply make them dynamic.

AS version is 2.0 saving movie in CS3 format using trial version of FLASH CS4 ...

Thank you all for you assistance!!!

The good thing about not knowing is the opportunity to learn - Yours truly, 2008.

In AS1 FlashVars are available in the main timeline.

So all you need to do is reference it from the main timeline, e.g. [tt]trace("variable1: " + variable1);[/tt]
