Hi For a project I'm doing with FLV videos embedded in a SWF, I'd like to be able to pass a Flashvar to the SWF to move the playhead to particular time. A sample URL would be this:
http://hamlet.ucalgary.ca/act1_1/index.html?myTime=123. This would open the HTML file that holds the swf and send the playhead to time 123. Using code from the Actionscript 3 Cookbook, I can in fact do this. Here's the HTML I'm using: <script type="text/javascript" > var parameters = window.location.search.substr(1); var objectEmbed = '<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E- AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="player" width="800" height="800" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/ swflash.cab">'; objectEmbed += '<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />'; objectEmbed += '<param name="quality" value="high" />'; objectEmbed += '<param name="bgcolor" value="#3C3F52" />'; objectEmbed += '<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" / >'; objectEmbed += '<param name="FlashVars" value="' + parameters + '" / >'; objectEmbed += '<embed src="player.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#3C3F52" width="800" height="800" name="Example" align="middle" play="true" loop="false" quality="high" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; FlashVars="' + parameters + '"></embed>'; objectEmbed += '</object>'; document.write(objectEmbed); </script> As I say this works fine except that I'd like to combine the code with swfObject; I'd especially like to be able to detect the client's version of the Flash player and invoke ExpressInstall as needed. I remember reading a while back in this group some discussion on passing Flashvars via the URL with swfObject. But I don't know if that problem was resolved. Any thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
