About loading variables

In the following sections, you load variables from the server in different ways or into a document from a URL string or FlashVars (you can use FlashVars to pass variables into Flash) in your HTML code. These practices demonstrate that there are several ways to use variables outside a SWF file.

You can find more information on loading variables (such as name/value pairs) in Working with External Data.

You can use variables in different ways in a SWF file, depending on what you need the variables for. For more information, see the following topics:

• Using variables from the URL
• Using FlashVars in an application
