![]() Howdy and Welcome...
![]() You have to use FlashVars to pass in the variables in HTML... Please check this thread... http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s....php3?t=125702 __________________

![]() Let's add some trace lines and tell me what you get...
First, create a textField somewhere and give it an instance name of 'output_txt'... and add the following lines... ActionScript Code:

![]() That script should work on IE... But not in FF because you are not providing the FlashVars for the EMBED tag...
Can you verify what I just said??? __________________
