Firstly, do you have the FlashVars being set in both the <OBJECT> Param and
the <EMBED> areas?
ie:
<object classid=xxxx id="your_swf" etc >
<PARAM NAME=FlashVars Value="aa=1&bb=2&cc=HelloWorld">
<embed src="your_swf" FlashVars="aa=1&bb=2&cc=HelloWorld" etc>
If that's the case, then you should be able to use the variables
directly in Flash
eg: _root.my_object.text = cc ;
_root.my_val = aa;
Caveats: you have to be careful with variable names. Start with letters,
etc etc. Also make sure there are no spaces in the data being passed to
the variable. All non alphanumerics need to be in hex (Hello%20World).
Note: I've been playing with Flash for maybe a week now, so I'm by no
means an expert, just someone who tripped up on this problem too.
