Hey everyone i am new to the site,

i was just wondering if there was a way pass a variable from one swf. to a totally different swf on a webpage..

I kinda have an idea on how to make it work but im not sure...
I was thinking of having the first swift pass a variable to a txt file then have the other swf get that variable from that text file

I might be on the totally wrong path here

Ne help would be greatly appreciated...

thanks

Aaron

Maybe LocalConnection (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=localconnection&btnG=Search) (but there maybe more ways also)

asf8 is correct.. LocalConnection is what your looking for.. its direct communication between two seperate instances of the flash player .. object embed to object embed.. or you can even use it for projector to object embed too.
