Recently I was working on a flash project that was using Actionscript 2 and it was such a pain trying to use loadClip() and pass in the necessary variables through query string for loading the external swf into a movieclip. I figure I’ll post this here and hopefully someone who is trying to do so can spend less time goggling for the answer

// here I set the values of the query string 
// for external swf that I want to pass in
// ie. h , w , and img
contentHolder_mc.h = h;
contentHolder_mc.w = w;
contentHolder_mc.img = img;
 
contentHolder_mc.loadMovie("nameOfYourSwf","GET");
