Hi Bob, Thanks for the code. Unfortunately the code you gave me didn't work for my AS3/CS3 file. However I can trace out the data via for loop or through stage.loaderInfo.parameters directly. But the only thing I can do with the data is print it out. (If I use the for loop I have the print is out inside the loop). This is really frustrating! I don't need to print it out, I need to use it as a variable in a database query and it just won't go in!
Were you able to use your variable data in this way? -Mack --- On Fri, 5/22/09, Bob Wohl <[email protected]> wrote: From: Bob Wohl <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] FlashVars - place data in a variable To: "Flash Coders List" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, May 22, 2009, 1:17 PM So you are trying access strValue after your loop? It may be a scope issue, try casting the var before the loop and trace after the loop. Also, you may want to access your flash var one by one to help debug: //quick example var strValue:String = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters.strValue trace(strValue) B.
