just to explain the png image with my current structure<br> the code in the image,thats is what is sitting on frame 1 of the
container swf which has an instance of holder... <br>
<br>
so let me guess, the vars are supposed to be written on that same line
, is this where S.O is supposed to use? or it will write the variables into that
frame.. I am a lost designer right now. All really need to figure out is where the( _root.has) is supposed to go and how other buttons sitting on the container can trigger a url # when the appropriate button to load a swf is clicked.. looking at the diagram may explain it..

<div style="">well, the code i gave would just pass in the hash value as is...<div><br></div><div>so you would have a var called _root.hash that would be equal to "#/something/somethingelse/whateverelse"</div><div>
<br></div><div>- you don't have to format it that way, and if you want to you can use name/value pairs instead, and then use the getQueryParam() method build into swfobject to pull out individual values. an example of that would look like:
</div><div><br></div><div>your url is yourpage.html#foo=bar&foo2=bar2</div><div><br></div><div>then your js/swfobject code would look like:</div><div><br></div><div>so.addVariable("foo", getQueryParamValue("foo"));
</div><div>so.addVariable("foo2", getQueryParamValue("foo2"));</div><div><br></div><div>which would then give you 2 vars on the root of your movie, one called "foo" with a value of "bar" and one called "foo2" with a value of "bar2"
</div><div><br></div><div>once you have the vars into your swf, it's up to you what you do with them... you treat them just like you would any other variable.</div><div><span class="e" id="q_10ea08ff3d32d362_1"><div><br></div>

<div><br></div><div>so.addVariable("hash", document.location.hash);</div><div><br></div><div>then take the _root.hash var when the movie starts and use that to load the appropriate swf. </div><div><br></div><div>

http://www.2advanced.com/#casestudies/byproject </a> it will skip all the intros and go directly to the that section of the flash movie. <br>sometimes its a little more</font><span><font face="Arial" size="2"> complex when the flash movie uses a container to load other swfs..
e.g jumi.swf, about.swf, buy.swf jumi swf contains a holder where all the other swfs are supposed to be loaded into. i cant figure out how to deeplink that. I am baffled! any help would be great. <br><br>//My main movie loads into here:
