thx for you explanation, it helps to improve my overall understanding of 
the concept, although i am not really happy with it, but this is 
something a have to live with, i guess :)

the main idea of what i want to do is the following:
stream an audio file (which is variable) into a conf room (which is also 
variable, of course). the problem is that i have to set something in 'A' 
and in 'B'.

Since variables only appear in the called channel (B) it is only useful 
to send the conf room number per variable and the problem stucks with 
the file to stream, which has to be set in A.

so i switched to use
	originateAction.setChannel("Local/"+number+"@confannounce"); 

         originateAction.setApplication("Playback");
         originateAction.setData(file);

	[confannounce]
	exten => _X.,1,NoOp(This is the conf room number in which to stream: 
${EXTEN})
	exten => _X.,2,MeetMe(${EXTEN})
	exten => _X.,3,Hangup

This approach connects to the Local Channel. I tried even to set 
variables in this szenario, but they does not apppear accordingly to the 
valuable information of Stefan. After the Channel is answered, wich is 
done by the MeetMe-Application, the Application is executed which is 
defined in the Originating-Action.

so, in the end i think i have reached the behavior i wanted.

thx for the help :)
