Clars:

In Flash, create a text field, set it to Dynamic, assign it a unique
variable name, such as "tTextFromDirector".

Let's assume that you have created this text field in the primary timeline
of a Flash movie.

The path to this variable is:

/:tTextFromDirector

or using dot notation:

_root.tTextFromDirector

(You can use the List Variable command when you are Debugging a movie in
Flash to get a list of such paths in your movie.)

In Director, simple use the setVariable command.  Assuming that sprite 1
contains a sprite referencing the SWF version of your Flash movie above:

(sprite 1).setVariable("_root.tTextFromDirector", "Hello world!")

Regards,

Terry
