		<description>Thanks for the posting.  I learned more from your post than anything I&#039;ve read about FlashVars.  

Is there a way to allow the user to &quot;hard code&quot; the html file via the URL?</description>

		<description>Can you take a variable from a query string passed to the movie, ie. www.mysite.com?id=4 and apply it to the text field in the movie rather than have the variable embedded into the html itself?</description>

		<description>Hi.
Can we load a external shockwave file (xxx.dcr or xxx.dir) with a flash loader file?
Thanks for advise...</description>

		<description>@neeraj:

Because FlashVars are only loaded one time, when the SWF file first loads, you can&#039;t change the values at runtime.

If you want to use JavaScript to make some change in a SWF, you can do so using the ExternalInterface class (also called the &quot;External API&quot;). The External API allows you to set up communication between ActionScript in a SWF and code running in the SWF&#039;s container (JavaScript in an HTML page being the most common example).

Here are some resources on the External API:
- &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/00000337.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Using the external API&lt;/a&gt;&quot; (a chapter I wrote in &quot;Programming ActionScript 3.0&quot;)
- &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/00000345.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Example: Using the external API with a web page container&lt;/a&gt;&quot; (a section of that chapter that deconstructs a specific example that uses JavaScript)
- &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;ExternalInterface class&lt;/a&gt;&quot; listing in the ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference</description>

		<description>Hey, 

The sample files are really helpful. But I want to know how can you create placeholder for images inside fla, so that you can get images dynamically.

Thanks!

		<description>This is really handy.  I hope to use code but i can only get it to work if all my text boxes are in the first frame of the SWF.  I named my variables like this in the first frame:

var var1:String;
yourname.text = var1;

var var2:String;
boss.text = var2;


var var3:String;
grievances.text = var3;



Is there a way to declare all the variables in the first frame and then have them appear later on in the timeline?

Thanks!
