Hey Elliot. Just as an FYI - It is Bobby and Geoff who are in charge of code revisions.
For any future enhancements / bugs, you can post here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/issues/list (click new issue - enhancement) Cheers, Aran -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Elliot Mebane Sent: Tuesday, 13 January 2009 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: New Query String / FlashVars method -- gathers *all* query string pairs with single method Hi Aran and SWFObject team. I sent the modification to SWFObject (below) a while back and didn't see any responses sent to the list. Is it something you may be interested in formally supporting? My revision allows you to easily bring *all* query string name/value pairs from the URL into Flash. Advantages over getQueryParamValue: -- You don't have to know the query string variable names in advance -- You don't need a separate line of code for each variable you're importing. This provides a quick and easy way of bringing in *all* the variables at once. -- No errors from spelling mistakes in the param names listed in the getQueryParamValue method. -- Updates to your SWF don't require updates to your HTML to accommodate new or changed variable names.

It is similar to getQueryParamValue except that rather than specifying the query variable to retrieve, this function returns an Object populated with all the name/value pairs from the query string. The advantage of this is that you don't have to specify what name/ value pairs to expect. I've tested this in all my Windows XP browsers and it works. Will the SWFObject team review the code, revise as necessary for cross- browser and cross-platform compatibility, and consider including this new function in the next release of SWFObject? I think it would be helpful for the community. To avoid collisions with other variables, I created new variables starting with ba, bb, bc... I'm sure that the SWFObject owners can advise about the best variable names to use instead. New SWFObject function: getQueryAsObj:function(){var ba=K.location.search||K.location.hash;var bd={};if(ba){var bb=ba.substr(1).split('&');for(var bc=0;bc<bb.length;bc++){bd[g(bb[bc].substring(0,bb[bc].indexOf('=')))] =g(bb[bc].substr(bb[bc].indexOf('=')+1))}}return bd} To use the new function, rather than assigning an empty Object to the flashvars variable in the script section of the HTML page, assign the results of the getQueryAsObj function to the flashvars variable. Additional name/value pairs can still be added to the flashvars Object. EX: var flashvars = swfobject.getQueryAsObj(); Here is a functional example and downloadable source files: http://www.zeroggames.com/lab/flashVars/flashVarsTest.html?queryName1=queryV alue1&queryName2=queryValue2&queryName3=queryValue3 Elliot Mebane Principal, Zero G Games Adobe Community Expert [email protected] No virus found in this incoming message.
