Edit: I\'ve come to realize the main problem I\'m facing is that I want a text field that already exists in a movieclip or on the stage to take the string from a flashvar. F
Try this: stage.loaderInfo.parameters.yourparam or stage.loaderInfo.parameters["yourparam"]
stage.loaderInfo.parameters.yourparam
stage.loaderInfo.parameters["yourparam"]
Can you post your html code, so we can see how you pass the flashvars to Flash.
