Re: [Flashcoders] Accessing FlashVars

[Karl DeSaulniers]

Something like this?

<object>
...
  <param name="FlashVars" value="appURL= test&appURL2=hello">
...

 <embed ... FlashVars="appURL= test&appURL2=hello" ...  />
</object>


FLASH ---

function init(e:Event) {
         var flashVars=this.loaderInfo.parameters;
        var appURL=flashVars.appURL;
}
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, init);

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>
