what do you mean by accessing form1 can you be more specific?
or you mean by access to get focus on form1 when form2 is still open?

Learn the basics of VB6.
Do you mean like: | Code: | | form1.command1.caption = "1" |

Ok, you press a money button, form 2 pops up, (Form2.Show)
There's a text box and it supposed to change _root.money or w/e to the value...but it won't work!
Here's code:
| Code: | | Call Form1.ShockwaveFlash1.SetVariable("_root.money", Form2.Text1.Text) |

for example if you have a button on form1 that shows form2
if you want to hide form1 while your on form2 then
if you want for example a button on form1 to add something to text1 on form2 then
| Code: | | form2.text1.text = hello |
fx
hope it helped

You could create a module with global variables.
Then declare the form2 textbox with a global variable.
| Code: | | Friend frm2TextBox As Form2.TextBox1.Text |
Then just use: Call Form1.ShockwaveFlash1.SetVariable("_root.money", frm2TextBox)

You can't use 'Friends' like that in VB6.

unfortunately VB6 can only do
function frm2TextBox() as string
frm2TextBox = Form2.TextBox1.Text
end function
and then your
Call Form1.ShockwaveFlash1.SetVariable("_root.money", frm2TextBox)

You know by default Text1.text is right. (VB6 doesn't put TextBox1 as name.)

Oh, sorry Wiccaan. I started out in VB.NET, tried using VB6, but I didn't like it at all.
