Re: [flexcoders] Flex and URL variables
Hi Jesse,I think, even in Flex 1.5 it was quite straight forward. You just need to declare public vars in MXML and then you can pass those vars through query string. F.ex.:##querystring.mxmlmx:Application xmlns:mx=
http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml mx:Scriptimport mx.controls.Alert;public var name:String = ;
private function onAppInit(){ Alert.show(name);}/mx:Script/mx:ApplicationUsage:
http://server/querystring.mxml?name=AbdulIt would show the passed value in Alert...Kevin and Manish deep linking was useful when you want to save the state of application in form of rest url. Or re initialize to same state from the rest URL...
FYI! Patent has been filed for this idea :)-abdulOn 3/3/06, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For Flex 1.5, I used Kevin Lynch's deep linking
code.
http://www.klynch.com/archives/76.html
My implementation:
http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2005/10/code_share_real.html
Basically, _javascript_ will set vars for you and you
can use Kevin's class to get vars. The are at least 2 other
implementations I've seen on the net, but this one worked, so I stuck with
it.
So:
codeid =
browserState.getValue(codeid);
Allows me to get the codeid value from this
url:
http://dev.jessewarden.com/flex/codeshare/#codeid=43
And thus I can do stuff with that variable.
If I want to update the browser's URL to reflect the state of the
app:
browserState.setValue(codeid,
posts_lb.selectedItem.id);
You can bookmark these links too. There was
something funky with Firefox where you come from an existing bookmark or
something, but whatever it was was an extreme use case (sort of).

Aye, but that's one way. You need to use
Kevin's code for the reasons you stated; deep linking.

RE: [flexcoders] Flex and URL variables
In Flex 2, the Application instance has a parameters property with name/value pairs for the URL parameters and FlashVars. So in an Application script you would just access parameters.number and it would be 3.
