Re: [Flashcoders] Deleting Flash Vars

2008-04-21 Thread Steven Sacks 

Have you tried setting your individual Flash Vars to null?

root.loaderInfo.parameters.someValue = null;

If you tried that and it didn't work, don't use FlashVars if you need 
that kind of security. There are many other options to FlashVars.

What I would like to do is

var flashVars:Object = (root.loaderInfo as LoaderInfo).parameters;
for (var i:String in flashVars) {
 setValue(i, flashVars[i]);
}
// delete the flash vars to prevent other swfs from accessing
delete (root.loaderInfo as LoaderInfo).parameters;

but parameters is read only. Any ideas?

Don't pass your variables in with FlashVars???

Maybe load your data from a server-side script or similar.

It seems to me that you have a dangerous strategy.

If there are other swfs that will try and load the parameters, you are 
trying to make the behaviour of the application dependent on the load order 
of the swfs. Not good.

No this is more for the case of a shell swf loading external content. I want
to prevent the external content from accessing any FlashVars. The shell is
the only thing that will need the FlashVars.
