Storing Variables in html???

[Brian]

I would like build an html page structure and have a Flash navigation.
So for reasons of easier updating and building, I would like to have
only one Flash navigation that will be on each of the html pages in me
site. There will be an "indicator" in the Flash, telling you which page
you are on. So for example, when you are on the contact page, the
contact button will be a different color and inactive.

So each time you go to a new html page in the site the same swf file
(the navigation) will be loaded again. What I want to do is have
variables in the html code of that page, that the Flash file will then
check for to determine which buttons color to change and inactivate.

How can I do this? What AS do I need to use to read the variable in and
how do I put them in the html code?


Thank you very much!!!

The only way to store it in a htnl file is using javascript and activeX (as far
as i know), BUT why not store it in a separate flash file? U can have 2 flash
files comminicate, one will be ur navigation the other will be just to store
the variables and will be different for all pages.

well, i think you could use hidden inputs and send them to the next page,
but this sucks anyway.. =P
