This works just fine for me, I have an entire list of flashVars I have
to access and set to variables to run an application. I wouldn't be
able to loop them and know what I was accessing since they are all
just string values. What you may want to do is trace the keyStr in
your loop as well to see what is being looped:
for (keyStr in paramObj){
trace(keyStr+ " : "+paramObj[keyStr])
}
Still, you should be able to get to the loader info object and
directly grab the flash var you want w/o looping through to get
values.
