While this approach might be good to just 'enumerate' your Flashvars. loosely coupling application functionality to generally unknown variables is a train wreck waiting to happen. In Dennis's example 'woo' is the value of the url. which could change if the value is being streamed into the wrapper at runtime (very common). This would exacerbated data handling proportionately to the number of Flashvars. Given this - I would recommend the following.
var urlFragment:String = "[ some default ]"; if ( Application.application.parameters.url == "" ) urlFragment = Application.application.parameters.url; Storing more than a few items in Flashvars isn't a good idea. the more unknowns you include the more introspection you will be required to do. Acquiring the value of parameters by name is preferred and allows you to fallback - and keep your application from es-ploding (e.g. if the name is unknown and the value is variable what's the point?)
