RE: [Flashcoders] flashvars -> swfObject not working

[Mendelsohn, Michael]

Well that's very interesting, Cedric.  My shower curtain is the MBTA system in 
Boston.  It isn't Flash related, but it could maybe pass for being similar to 
the poster I have at work diagramming all the AS3 classes and their 
relationships.  Your bathroom art is probably more colorful.

It may help OR not:
I paint these on pictures (nice pictures by the way) I plug to my  
toilet's walls. It is fun, helps me remember important illogical  
stuff, and assures me my toilet's walls get updated quite frequently,  
and no one else except me understands these, which tends to comments  
like "wow, there's art in your toilets !"
;)
By the way, I am looking forward to the day someone writes new  
comments on my toilet's walls :P

Maybe, there is a 'place' somewhere for a book in that verve ? :S

That's right Cedric!  When am I going to remember that?  It's  
burned me a few times already.  Thank you very much for the reminder.

Hello Michael,

You have to get the FlashVars parameters from the root.loaderInfo
object. I know, I know how it feels, and I wouldn't be able to
certainly tell you why it is passed through the root.loaderInfo
pointer, although it /can/ be quite logical. When you get used to it,
it gets logical too :)

try the following:

var flashvars:Object = LoaderInfo(root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (var e:Object in flashVars) {
trace("e="+e+"  flashVars[e]="+flashVars[e]);
}

hth,
Cedric

Hi list...

I'm unable to pass flashvars to a swf via swfObject(2.2).  An  
online search hasn't turned up a solution either.


The flashvars are passed via javascript like so:


var v = {};
v.titleText = "XXX Financial and Operational Progress";

var v = {};
v.titleText = "XXX Financial and Operational Progress";
swfobject.embedSWF("thing.swf", "mything", "450", "750", "9.0.28", false, v, 
{}, { });


Within the swf, I've declared a corresponding public variable in the document 
class.

public class MyClass extends Sprite{
public var titleText:String;
public function MyClass(){
if(Capabilities.playerType == "External"){
// set defaults for the flashvars for testing purposes:
titleText = "YYY Financial and Operational Progress";
}   
}
}

What am I missing?  When testing in Flash, I get the "YYY..." message, but when 
testing in a browser, I get nothing.

Thanks,
