Subject: RE: FLASH: Passing Variables through a frameset...follow up.

Bryan and all flashers:

I have problems passing variables to an swf file on the OBJECT/EMBED Tags.
The problem happen on certain machines (like Mac or some Browsers).
May exists any problem with this method? I think on the version of Flash
Plugin Player, but i can't discover the trick.

Please Any can helpme.
This is for make a Greetings on flash, maybe exists another way to make the
sistem, but without using Session variables.

Thanks All..

Leonardo Creo
