Inconsistencies between the mxml and flash jsp tags were resolved in Flex 1.5. This accounts for the difference in functionality.
In Flex 1.5, The 'param' tag should be used when sending params directly to the flash player. These would be parameters understood by the Flash Player and added using the <PARAM> html tag, for example, AllowScriptAccess or wmode. <prefix:param name="param_name" value="param_value" /> The 'flashvars' tag should be used for your flashvars. Flex will take care of correctly encoding your flashvars. <mm:flashvar name="firstname" value="Nick" /> <mm:flashvar name="lastname" value="Danger" /> Since the flashvars tag simply renders an <PARAM> html tag, it is possible to simply add a param tag instead but be sure you're using proper parameter names and value format. This is what the flashvars tag does for you. <param name='flashVars' value='firstname=Nick&lastname=Danger'> For additional notes, http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/00002253.htm - Cathy > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Spaulding [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 1:44 AM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: flex and jsp > > > > Hi Dan, > > yeh I had the param code working in flex 1.0 (i will try it again when > I get back to the office). > > I wonder why it doesnt work in 1.5?
