You have to access the passed in parameters using the Application.parameters object / associative array. It the swf does not contain an application, then I am clueless.
You can also get a live reference to the content(application) and access public members that way. There are data type issues and timing issues to be aware of though. I'll post some example code if you'd like.

When programming in AS2 for Flash, I was always able to have an AS2 swf load into it another AS2 swf and pass that swf variables using query string as such: swfToLoad.swf?var1=1&var2=2 When the swfToLoad ran, it automatically had the var1 and var2 variables declared and assigned the same values that were added onto the query string. I now need to use the same idea but have Flex load an AS2 swf and pass the swf a query string. <mx:SWFLoader source="swfToLoad.swf?var1=1&var2=2"/> However, when the swfToLoad (which is a flash 8 as2 swf) loads, those var1 and var2 variables trace out as undefined. I've also tried using the SWFLoader's load command rather than source, but the same problem. I've also tried using an mx:Image instead of SWFLoader, same problem. Is there a way to pass variables into the swf OTHER than using a local connection? (I say other than using a local connection because that is the whole purpose of me doing this. I'm trying to pass a random connection id from Flex into the Flash swf so they use the same (random) connection id) CHAD CALLAHAN PROGRAMMER T8DESIGN.COM | P 319.266.7574 - x195 | 877.T8IDEAS | F 888.290.4675 This e-mail, including attachments, is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521, is confidential, and may be legally privileged.
