Take a look at the default html wrapper that is produced by Flex. You'll see where the flashVars are set. Depending on what web application platform you're on, you can dynamically pass in url parameters to the application by dynamically altering a custom wrapper at runtime. Another approach would be to use SWFObject (http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/#examples). I'm sure there are others as well.

Could you give me an example of passing say a single string? Is it something like the way the debugger works where you tack args on to the end of the url: http://localhost:8888/home/myApp.html?debug=true --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Battershall, Jeff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, you can pass variables to the Flex app via flashVars.
