Also, keep in mind flash considers its path relative to the WEB PAGE
calling it... not the flash object itself.
Although, this just gave me a thought... if you used actionscript in
the flash object to periodically load that text files compare for
differences (timestamp on edit, flag etc - something you add to the
file) you could then have your dynamic code write a new file as needed
and the flash object would catch the changes on the next scheduled
load. Just be sure to add a unique variable to the file load in the
flash object to ensure its gets the new data and not the cached values.
You won't be able to "trigger" the flash load, but if you designed the
system with the delay in mind, you might be able to simulate something
very like pushing data to the flash object without reloading the page.

Sébastien,
I was posed with creating a dynamic flash menu about a year ago. Here
is a
look at what it looks like (the menu running down the left side of the
site)
http://www.ucihs.uci.edu/
I read in from a text file that could easily be retrieved from a Direct
Action URL in lieu of a file. My thought in your case is to use the
'Action
Script' of Flash to get the pertinent data from your
session/application via
a Direct Action.
The Action Script I used went something like
loadVariables("menustructure.txt", this);
I do recall there being some security restrictions about the
'loadVariables'
function, perhaps limiting it to a file at the base URL of the .swf -
so
you'll have to do some homework.
Hope this helps. And of course I'm happy to contribute more detail of
my
pains with this, should you like.
Best Regards,

Hello
I have a menu made of WOHyperlink built by a WORepetion. All links
are connected to an Action,
I would like to change it by something in Flash.
My question is how to pass to flash the URLs generated by the page?
Any ideas or anyone has done this before?
I have tried some tricks but without any success :(
Thank you in advance
