Re: passing variables to flash

thanks for your reply > What I do in these cases is either having <PARAM name=movie.swf?var1=text the first thing you mention is exactly the problem I'm having since the file.swf?var=xxx makes iexplore reload it > Or use a file (something.php) which spits text like var1=xxxx&var2=xxxx. > Flash can read that file and get the variables the second one is not a possibility, because I need flash to have the vars before operating. the variables are used to call on another php-script for conetnt-details. (for instance: file.swf?id=23 will make flash call on content.php?id=23 for relevant content) anybody else for other options? original question: > i want to pass variables to a shockwave-flash-file > currently that's working fine with > > print " <PARAM NAME=movie > VALUE=\"$movie?idlinks=$idlinks&idcontent=$idcontent&idknoppen=$idknoppen\"> > etc... > > but passing the variables through GET makes iexplore think it's loading a > new *.swf-file > > how to fix this? > > 1) is there a way around using GET to pass the variables from PHP? > 2) is there a way to make Iexplore realise the file has been loaded before
