How about you share what you found? When someone comes along with the same problem, he/she can see the solution

yeah … true…
so my problem was that I wanted to add an external variable for flash
In Firefox is enough to write:
<object height="289" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="505">
<param name="movie" value="index.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" src="index.swf?xmlFile=data.xml" height="289" quality="high" width="505"></embed>
</object>
In IE you must add FlashVars:
<object height="289" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="505">
<param name="movie" value="index.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="xmlFile=data.xml" />
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" src="index.swf" flashvars="xmlFile=data.xml" height="289" xmlfile="data.xml" quality="high" width="505"></embed>
</object>
So if you don’t use flashvars in FF will work ok but in IE the value of the xmlFile variable will be UNDEFINED
(BTW… the xmlFile variable will be assigned on the _root level in the flash)

Do not use FlashVars.
Use the same code that you are using for FireFox. But, do just one change.
<object height="289" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="505"> <param name="movie" value="index.swf?xmlFile=data.xml" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="index.swf?xmlFile=data.xml" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="289" quality="high" width="505"></embed> </object>
The change is…
You were specifying “index.swf” at 2 places. But, you were feeding the “xmlFile=data.xml” only at one place.
I use this solution since I know flash.

I’m working on a project that’s calling for external variables. Variable 1 is a simple text phrase, variable 2 is a text block of html code, variable 3 is a link and variable 4 is a color hexcode. In that XML file you refer to, that “data.xml”, how would I set up the list of variables? And how would I call those into the AS2 project?
Thanks
