Give each input text field a variable name (instance names aren’t particularly important in this case) by typing in a string in the Var field. Make sure that you remember these variable names – write them down, if you need to. They’re the keys to moving data from one SWF to another, and for displaying the correct data in the eCard SWF if it’s loaded from an external link.

For reference, my variables are:

  • fromname
  • toname
  • mymessage
  • Explore Animation
