title: Interacting with actionscript 3.0 using javascript
body: <p>As the title says... I'm trying to interact with my flash movie's actionscript via javascript. Specifically I'm trying to send text to my flash movie. I've come across a couple sites that had some walkthroughs but I for the life of me could not get them to work.</p>
  
  <p>From the adobe site.

  <p>the really cool thing about that is their source file download link is dead. and coming across another post:</p>

  <p>The download works... except the fla file is blank and running the html page you can receive text from the flash movie... but you can't send text from html to the flash movie. </p>
  
  <p>I followed the steps pretty closely, can anybody see anything wrong w/ the instructions on the adobe site? And if ANYBODY can reeeeeally help me out, could you post a source example of this functionality? Thanks everybody for your time!</p>
