Re: [Flashcoders] Passing params via url instead of FlashVars
I can't remember where I picked this up but this is a class that handles
querystrings in as3:
usage:
var qs:QueryString = new QueryString();
trace( qs.parameters.id );

package your.namespace.here
{
import flash.external.*;
import flash.utils.*;
/**
* Access the query string of the html page this flash is embedded in.
*/
public class QueryString
{
private var _queryString:String;
private var _all:String;
private var _params:Object;
public function get queryString():String
{
return _queryString;
}
public function get url():String
{
return _all;
}
public function get parameters():Object
{
return _params;

public function QueryString()
{
readQueryString();

private function readQueryString():void
{

try
{
_all =
ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString");
_queryString =
ExternalInterface.call("window.location.search.substring", 1);
if(_queryString)
{
var params:Array = _queryString.split('&');
var length:uint = params.length;
for (var i:uint=0,index:int=-1; i
{
var kvPair:String = params[i];
if((index = kvPair.indexOf("=")) > 0)
{
var key:String = kvPair.substring(0,index);
var value:String = kvPair.substring(index+1);
_params[key] = value;
}
}
}

Very cool Jer. I never looked into swfObject enough to realize it had functions. Thanks! - MM ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Passing params via url instead of FlashVars
If you're using swfobject, as I believe they have a
getQueryParamValue("variable1") method.
var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "200", "8", "#336699");
so.addVariable("variable1", getQueryParamValue("variable1"));
so.addVariable("variable2", getQueryParamValue("variable2"));
so.write("flashcontent");
If not there is a way to get the URL from JavaScript, by parsing out
the variables in window.location.href.
Copying random code found in google, but here's *a* solution.
function gup( name )
{
name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );
if( results == null )
return "";
else
return results[1];
}
