I have a file called main.asp

in this file I have a flash movie. This flash move loads different products by loading different swf's into the main file.

What I wanted to do, to save downloading multiple versions of the main file is when the page loads have the asp send a var to the flash file which will trigger flash to load the coresponding product .swf.


Can I do this to select which productarea I want? - main.asp?productarea=bikes

Then how do I get the main swf to load the var from the asp page (the same asp page that the flash file is imbeded in) ?

thanks for your help

By using FLASHVARS you can have access to productarea in your flash movie by using the above code.

Your url would look like something.asp?productarea=underwear

No.

You'll need to use a query string on the swf itself for flash 5.
