Hi Greg,
Thank you for your valuable help.What i am planning to do is i have a basic
flex application in which i can add url's of mp3,flv and text to the
database(MSSQL2005).I am using using .NET web service for getting data and
updating data the database.There is a datagrid which is populated from the
stored data in the database(the filenames and the text).
What i need to do is i want to create a slide show which is supposed to be in a
new browser window with the videos and mp3 and the text selected according to
the selected item in the datagrid.The new browser window is like a template may
be an swf wrapped in an html container.The target ie, the new window will have
provision for playing video and displaying text and so on.
The point is how can i pass the urls and text to the swf template which is to
be opened in a new browser window..
Thanks
Subeesh

Subeesh,
Following is logic from a DataGrid click handler. The logic: a) opens a new
browser window (_blank), and b) passes "the necessary data" to it via a URL
query string ( ?id=). Note the following is an abridged version of the actual
code. In the full code I include try/catch on the navigateToURL( ):
var url:String = "/newWindow.cfm? id="+event.currentTarge t.selectedItem. myID;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url) ;
navigateToURL( request,"_blank")
Do you have an application server on the backend? If so, your app can take
values passed via the URL query string above, and construct for the "new
browser window" whatever your requirement calls for.
Just curious, you write "i want its details to be displayed in a new browser
window". What are you using for displaying the details in the new browser
window? HTML? SWF?
If you will have a second SWF in the "new browser window", your app server can
construct FlashVars in the object/embed tags to pass "the necessary data" into
SWF2.
If you will have a second SWF in the "new browser window" and would like to use
FlashVars the following post I made here on FlexCoders in January provides
links into the Flex 2 docs. That earlier post can be found here:

Please post back and let me know if this helps. If not, please provide more
details on your requrement.

One way to do that would be to use the Flex-Ajax bridge (FABridge).. . which
allows flex to access stuff from JavaScript and vice-versa. From a
user-experience point of view, I would advice you to keep popups out of the
application if you can manage it. TitleWindow would be a better choice. If
there's no other way and you have to have it in a popup, then FABridge would be
one option. J
