[flexcoders] Passing flash variables to an embedded SWF

2008-07-30 Thread Laurent
I'm embedding a swf file in an AS class and I would need to pass to
this file some FlashVars, however I'm not sure how to do it or if it's
possible at all. So far I tried this approach, but I get a compiler error:

[Embed(source=MyFile.swf?myFlashVar=abcd)]
protected var MyClass:Class;

This gives me this error:

MyFile.swf?myFlashVar=abcd does not have a recognized extension

Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,

Laurent

Not sure you can do that.  You'll have to implement some communication
between the two swfs.

Yeah, are you committed to embedding the swf?  This is easy with
SWFLoader and run-time loading.
