Hi,
can a variable only be passed by visual basic to the _root timeline of a flash
movie playing in the ocx inside it?
This will work in VB
MyFlashMovie.SetVariable " MyVariable" ,"MyValue"
this will not
MyFlashMovie.SetVariable " MyMovieClip/MyVariable" ,"MyValue"

is there a better way I do not know of?

Also can anyone point me to good info on using the ocx inside visual basic
applications?
I have been doing this for a while but was hoping some improvements may have
been made.

thanks
Mark
