Re: [flexcoders] Flex and URL variables

Hi Jesse,

I think, even in Flex 1.5 it was quite straight forward. You just need to declare public vars in MXML and then you can pass those vars through query string. F.ex.:


##querystring.mxml

<mx:Application xmlns:mx=" http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">
    
<mx:Script>
import mx.controls.Alert;

public var name:String = "";

private function onAppInit()
{
    Alert.show(name);
}
</mx:Script>

</mx:Application>


Usage:

http://server/querystring.mxml?name=Abdul


It would show the passed value in Alert...


Kevin and Manish deep linking was useful when you want to save the state of application in form of rest url. Or re initialize to same state from the rest URL...

FYI! Patent has been filed for this idea :)

For Flex 1.5, I used Kevin Lynch's deep linking code.
 
 
My implementation:
 
Basically, _javascript_ will set vars for you and you can use Kevin's class to get vars.  The are at least 2 other implementations I've seen on the net, but this one worked, so I stuck with it.
 
So:
 
codeid = browserState.getValue("codeid");
 
Allows me to get the codeid value from this url:
 
And thus I can do stuff with that variable.  If I want to update the browser's URL to reflect the "state" of the app:
 
browserState.setValue("codeid", posts_lb.selectedItem.id);
 
You can bookmark these links too.  There was something funky with Firefox where you come from an existing bookmark or something, but whatever it was was an extreme use case (sort of).

Alright, I've done this with Flash before but I'm wondering how similar it is.

Let's say I start my app @ http://mysite.com/index.mxml?number=3

What's the easiest way to get that 3 into a variable in Flex? Using FlashVars in the embed/object tags and then somehow do mx.core.application.Application.number as my variable?
