Passing an array values from html into flash array

Question

anyone knows how to pass an array values from an HTML into flash? Well, to begin I'll discuss what am I doing. I edited a twitter widget javascript which search tweets based on the hashtag I needed then passing it on an array per tweet and then displaying it using a <div> it updates once every 5 minutes. Now I want to display those tweets on a dynamic text on Flash. Let's say I will have 5 dynamic text placed on my flash file then; I want each of those dynamic text to have the tweets I have based on on my HTML arrays to be displayed in random.

For better understanding (I think?):

HTML: Var Array --> Flash: Var Array (How to?)

You can use the flash vars or a php-page to read the array from. Have look at the following link for more information:

Thanks, but as much as possible I don't want to apply PHP or any scripting language just pure HTML on the page.

That the flashvars way: blogs.adobe.com/pdehaan/2006/07/…

FlashVars can only be used at load time of the swf and is not what he needs.

For now this one can do, still learning about this one. Thanks.

What you want is the ExternalInterface.addCallback( 'funcName', callBackFunc) function in the AS3 code. Then in your JavaScript you can do something like flashObj.funcName( myArray );
