[Flashcoders] Accessing FlashVars

[Kerry Thompson]

Flash Builder 4 AS3 project, Windows 7, Firefox 12.0.

I can't access the FlashVars in the HTML file. I've been working on this
all day, and it's driving me crazy (crazier). Do you see anything in the
following code?

In the constructor of my default AS3 file, I have this:

   this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, init);

and in the init() function:

            var flashVars:Object;

            flashVars = this.loaderInfo.parameters;

When I look at it in the debugger, flashVars is an object, but it has no
parameters. The relevant HTML is pretty straightforward:

            <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
width="100%" height="100%" id="RMK_Beta">
                <param name="movie" value="RMK_Beta.swf" />
                <param name=FlashVars value="appUrl=test" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
                <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="RMK_Beta.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
                           <param name=FlashVars value="appUrl=test"
/>
                    <param name="quality" value="high" />
                    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
                    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
                <!--<![endif]-->
                <!--[if gte IE 6]>-->
                    <p>
