I'm struggling with what should be a really simple concept. I've checked the tutorials, forums and STILL can't make it work. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I simply want the html that loads my Flash movie to pass a variable and its value to the Flash movie.
Say I have this line in the HTML:
<param name="movie" value="myMovie.swf?test=howdy">
What ActionScript goes in the myMovie.swf that makes the variable test a global variable I can use throughout the movie? I've tried assigning the variable to a dynamic test field, but it always shows up blank in the browser.
Thanks in advance for taking pity on this apparent moron ;)
