You can do this by generating the OBJECT/EMBED tags dynamically by the server or the client : here is a little php snippet I use for using server session and database results to send initial parameters to the shockwave movie: <param name=src value="yourMovie.dcr"> <param name=swRemote value="swSaveEnabled='true' swVolume='true' swRestart='true' swPausePlay='true' swFastForward='true' swContextMenu='false' "> <param name=swStretchStyle value=none> <param name=swLiveConnect value=true> <param name="sw1" value="<? //sw1 : userID print "$svUserID"; ?>"> <param name="sw2" value="<? //sw2 : enableNewStuff print "$svStatNewStuff"; ?>"> (...) If you use javascript document.write to generate dynamically the tags you may achieve the same results, hth, .séb [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
