Flash menu reflecting html page

[iztel]

Anyone know how to get the menu effect on Fully Illustrated - The Portfolio of Michael Heald where the flash menu relates to the html (or php) page it's on?

I was looking at the source code and its a mixture of actionscript and javascript. I found this:

<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[

var so = new SWFObject("_include/swf/navbar.swf", "soNav", "769", "52", "8", "#000000");
so.addVariable("currentSectionName", "ethos");
so.write("masterhead");

//flash banner
//var banner01 = new SWFObject("_include/swf/banner.swf", "banner", "769", "490", "8", "#000000");
//banner01.write("flashBanner");

// ]]>
</script>

I'm sure its just a simple function in actionscript but I have no idea what it is haha.

I've never done it before cause i never knew you could, but it looks like the JS is passing a new variable to the swf file called "currentSectionName" and the actionscript goes to the appropriate part of the animation (or loads the appropriate movie clip) depending on what that variable is set to.

Very nice site.
