Hi g, This page in the Flex 2 Language Reference covers ... Using query string parameters (under "NOTE" halfway down the page) http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001006.html
Personally, I use FlashVars to pass values into the SWF at runtime through the HTML <object><embed> tags. You can check these two links in the Flex 2 Language Reference for details: Using flashVars http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001005.html Using the Application.application.parameters object http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00001004.html Please post back whether this helped or not. g On 12/28/06, g_vaccarezza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Guys, I got to externally set a variable on a swf. I have very limited knowledge but I do know that in a regular flash movie I can set a variable through a declaration within the object ember tag in the html: myMovie.swf?variable=something or through the <param> tag: <param name="variable" value="something" /> Does this apply for an embedded flex movie? In that case, how should I read the variable from within flex? Thanks! -g
