Passing Variables to Flash

and there is definately not a way to just pass the VALUE of a publisher variable from publisher to flash using FlashVars as a parameter, I read the earlier post that it just returns a string i.e. flash_var=VAR(pub_var) with the value passed to flash literally being "VAR(pub_var)" why wont the value of pub_var actually be returned?All I want to do is read in the URL variables to flash! its incredibly easy using javascript, but seems stupidly hard using flash/actionscript!I would normally use the method bulldozer mentioned in the previous post, but I need to be able to use Flash 6 for compatibility with other things.any ideas?
