if your loading a swf into director then the director timeline is the
parent of that swf's main timeline. so:

_parent.myVariable = aValue;

is valid code that will put the variable on the director timeline.

but director doesnt support arrays, it uses lists (functionally
identical to arrays from memory) this may mean that you can access your
"list" in director. or you may have to pass your variables as a comma
diliminated list, or a number of indiviadual variables.

luck

if you have Director MX2004 you can access Flash vars:

sprite("flashSprite").flashVar

don't know now how it'll be with arrays. in former version you need to
use setVariable()/getVariable()

also take into account that director lists begin with index=1
