Hi I have built a flash movie with buttons...depending on which button is clicked it loads a different flash movie due to variable setting. I am able to set and call the variable s in flash fine
But now i have an html page that needs to blend with this flash...So i created buttons on my html page to look like the flash...But when i click a certain button i want it to know the variable going into the flashpage and load correct movie...not just go to the beginning of my flash movie then user will have to choose the button again...
How can i do this?
thank you in advance

you can append a variable/value to a url by concatenating the url with:

?yourVariableName=yourVariableValue
