Hi G!
Code seems to be fine, but it ain't seem to be working. I wrote the
following code withing Flex:
// call on creation complete
private function initApp():void{
myExternalUrl = Application.application.parameters.theUrl;
requestText.text = myExternalUrl;
}
and then, within the <object> tag in the HTML:
<param name="theUrl" value="this is the goddam dynamic url">
I open the HTML witht eh Flex app, but the textbox wont show anything.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks!
