Passing variables with loadMovie

I'm new to ActionScripting. I want to pass the value of a variable from one swf file to another. I have a tutorial book that states I can do this with the loadMovie action when I load the second movie; however, it doesn't give me any guidance in how to use loadMovie to pass the variable value. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ray

loadMovie is puny and weak - use the MovieClipLoader class. Then you can use
the onLoadInit method - when it fires you have a reference to the loaded
target and can set a variable within it, call a function within it, etc...
Look in the Help for MovieClipLoader - and specifically the onLoadInit
method
