Values from HTML to Flash

[Legolas7]

Hello,

I want to import values from HTML in Flash like this:
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=&quot;house.swf?frontdoor=red&backdoor=blue&quot;>

this line shall change the values of variables in the Flash file
frontdoor=red
backdoor=blue
But when i do such way nothing happens. (I read from this method on

http://www.synaptic-gap.co.uk/)

Anyone can help me?

PS: I dont wanna use Javascript...

method is fine maybe you are just trying to access the variables before they are loaded

try this

frame 2
if(frontdoor==undefined){
gotoAndPlay(1);}

//stick a text box on the stage with variable name frontdoor and red ought to appear.

Thanks,

fine idea but when i write this code in Flash the internet explorer locks up! It is obviously an endless loop. So im doing it for now with javascript, although i don't like to use it.

movie value, remember, must be only one word

didnt spot that error before


it loops because the variable never loads.
