passing data from dreamweaver to flash 1

[afx]

I have a dreamweaver mx 2004 page with a file field. An upload button (uses Pure ASP Upload 2.17) that uploads the file. I then call a "success.html" and load a Flash .swf.

How can I pass the file name from the file field to Flash so that Flash's ActionScript can pick it up and perform other operations using the file name.

To pass a variable from an HTML document to a Flash Player movie, simply append it in the URL, for example:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="[URL unfurl="true"]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"[/URL] name="main" width="900" height="600" id="main">
  <param name="movie" value="[b][red]main.swf?myMessage=Thank%20You%20For%20Uploading[/red][/b]" />
  <param name="QUALITY" value="high" />
  <embed src="[b][red]main.swf?myMessage=Thank%20You%20For%20Uploading%21[/red][/b]" width="900" height="600" name="main" quality="high" pluginspage="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"[/URL] type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> 
</object>

The variable could then be accessed as _level0.myMessage
and it would have the value "Thank You For Uploading!"

_{I REALLY hope that helps.}

Wow. That's so easy - I searched for ages in books/web and still couldn't find it. Thanks for ending my search!
