Thanks, Aran. I am still having issues so tried another method after reading on the documentation. However, I am still having an issue getting my url variable into the swf. I am pretty sure I did that javascript wrong (I am not as familiar with that part). As it is now does not work in Firefox or Explorer. I have spent so much time with this and still have not gotten to work. I am a designer trying to do a programmers job. Anyone with insight it would be appreciated.
