Template in another template with variables

[flashfocus]

I'm creating borders with flash around the vB blocks on my board, but I'd like to use an easy way to do so. The replacement variables won't do it because it is necessary to send extra information (URL and id) to the variable.

Is it possible to 'open' a template with some variables fromout another template? Or is there some other way to do this?

Kerry-Anne already told me that costum templates with a plugin would do it almost, but sending the variables with it, aint supported.

Make a javascript for it, so you'll use it like this <script> ShowFlash('url.swf', 20, 30); </script>

With script you'll also avoid "click to activate control" message in IE (new IE bug) so your flash movie will work without user having to click on it.

I'm also wondering how to do this. I made a new template that i'd like to add to my forum home, but i cant call that template (example $new_template) with out making a variable point to it, how would i go about doing this?
