If you are using a static HTML page to serve up the SWF file, then you need to manually specify the params as flashVars variables in the wrapper. For example, to pass the name Nick Danger you might do this:
<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflas h.cab#version=9,0,0,0' width='500' height='500'> <param name='flashVars' value='firstname=Nick&lastname=Danger'> <param name='src' value='FlashVarsValues.mxml.swf'> <embed pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' width='500' height='500' flashVars='firstname=Nick&lastname=Danger' src='FlashVarsValues.mxml.swf'/> </object> If you are using something like JSP to serve up the SWF file, then you can use expressions to set the values of the flashVars in the wrapper: <% String fName = (String) request.getParameter("firstname"); String lName = (String) request.getParameter("lastname"); %> ... <object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflas h.cab#version=9,0,0,0' width='500' height='500'> <param name='flashVars' value='firstname=<%= fName %>&lastname=<%= lName %>'> <param name='src' value='FlashVarsValues.mxml.swf'> <embed pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' width='500' height='500' flashVars='firstname=<%= fName %>&lastname=<%= lName %>' src='FlashVarsValues.mxml.swf'/> </object> If you have the FDS server, then query string params are converted to flashVars for you.
