i can getVariable no problem. the problem comes when i try to change a variable that's in the swf already.

the doc here http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl...hflash_03.html says the syntax is SetVariable(variableName, value)

i have a flash object titled fla_01

so how come when i do fla_01.SetVariable("bubba", "test) VB tells me that it expects an = ??

so i tried fla_01.SetVariable("bubba") = "test"

and it says that the arguments are not optional. i'm tired, and i have no idea.

any help would be great.
