RE: [flexcoders] Passing parameter to swf

[Kenneth Sutherland]

You should check out this video tutorial
http://www.webkitchen.be/2008/12/12/video-tutorial-make-flex-components-
with-flash-cs4/ .  Note I've tried doing this sort of stuff in CS3 and
the exact same code can sometimes work and other times fail in CS3, and
I do mean the exact same code.  But since creating components in CS4
I've had no issues. Something that didn't work in CS3, I imported to CS4
and it works fine, so use CS4 otherwise you could easily be banging your
head for no reason.

Subject: [flexcoders] Passing parameter to swf

 

Hi,

I have a requirement where I have to send a String value as a
parameter to a swf (created from Flash). If this is possible, can
anybody let me know how this can be done?

Example Usage: I want an animated button like thing in Flex. I would
be given an swf file created in Flash, which looks like an animated
button, but with no Label on it. I will load this animated swf into my
Flex application using SWFLoader component. Say, I want to pass in a
String value - Login to this swf, so that, I can use it as an
animated button with the label - Login.

Hi Chandru,

   This is actually pretty easy...one the swfLoader.source, simply add 
the traditional ? and  tabs to the source with the values you want 
to pass...then in your called swf, you access the passed values via the 
document.parameters.valueName


i.e.

Main App:

var swf:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
swf.source = swfFile.swf?label=Login;

swfFile.swf:

button.label = document.parameters.label;

HTH,
Adrian
