    You can pass variables to a swf file using 'flashvars'. Look that up.

    Also, put all actionscript on first frame below the stop(); action.

    Use OOP (Object Oriented Programming) and functions... at least use functions... and assign actions to objects on the stage through functions. If you have Flash MX, functions and OOP are native.

    Read the Actionscript dictionary and look at sample files that came with Flash.

    Good luck. I know it's all a little awkward at first. But don't give up or be frustrated. Even 'expert' Flash users get stumped and spend hours on the most ridiculous little details.
