Requesting Variable from Flash.swf in Dreamweaver ???

[Chris Reilly]

Hi I'm very new to using Flash

I'm trying to get a variable from a flash.swf object which I have placed on my dreamweaver asp page.

The flash.swf is a date picker, so what I want to show in a text field next to the flash object is the selected date.

I'm not sure of the syntax to call the variable in Flash..???

Any advice would be gratefully accepted....

P.S. I know this sounds very easy ... but this is the first time I've used Flash... and can't find much help on Macromedia page..

This isn't exactly what I'm after.... but after working through the tutorials.. I now have a better idea of how flash works with asp pages...

Many thanks for your quick response

I eventually got what I wanted from using the fscommand within action script...

I found a useful tutorial at

Hope this can be of use to someone else, it really helped me.
