RE: [Flashcoders] Loading local files with query strings
That's what you'd expect with *local* files, e.g. loading from a filesystem.
The filesystem will look for the file with the literal filename
"my_swf.swf?id=33".
A web server, on the other hand, knows that anything after "?" is not part of
the filename, and should be treated as a query string.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Loading local files with query strings
Hi everyone,
I have a strange problem loading external assets from local files with
Loader() Class in AS3.
If i use query string in the file name, the asset don't loads.
This code doesnt load the swf file inside a class
this.mySWFLoader = new Loader();
this.mySWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,
displaySwfContainer );
this.mySWFLoader.load(new URLRequest("my_swf.swf?id=33"));
if i dont use the '?id=33' it works.
Any suggestions?
Thanxs in advance,
Álvaro

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading local files with query strings
Hi,
But the loaded swf its in AS2, so the swfLoader file cant access the
variables in swfLoaded file and vice-versa, right?

Appending arguments to the end of a swf file acts the same as setting
FlashVars.
So, I take it you are trying to pass an id to the loaded in sub swf?
Another way to go about it would be to wait until it loads, and then access
the contents of the subloaded swf and set variables that way.
Or you can just use a static var like MyApp.varName = value; and then the
subloaded swf can check for MyApp.varName

To make a query string work, you need to route the call through an HTTP
server.
Sounds like you're trying to avoid caching? But I'm not clear why
you'd want to avoid caching a local, non-dynamic file...

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading local files with query strings
Hi Ian,
The reason i'm using query strings it's because the same swf must to
respond in different manners according the parameters passed.
I'm catching the paramenters in loaded swf (its in AS2 :() via _root.
But the same approach in flex works, but with flash IDE dont.
Is tehre any way to pass the variables to AS2 swf in the call, besides
localConnection for example?
Thanxs,
Álvaro
