[Flashcoders] Passing params via url instead of FlashVars
Hi list... Anyone have a recommendation for passing params into a swf via the url instead of FlashVars? I need to send out an email link like so: Clickhere.html?a=1 Clickhere.html?a=2 Would it be easier to just send links to two different html pages, each with different Flash Vars? The idea I had was to simply have one swf. Thanks, - Michael M. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Are you restricted to using HTML? Could you use something like PHP? If you could, it'd be quite trivial. Steve -- Original message -- From: Mendelsohn, Michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi list...

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];
}

Hi list...
Anyone have a recommendation for passing params into a swf via the url
instead
of FlashVars?
I need to send out an email link like so:
Clickhere.html?a=1
Clickhere.html?a=2
Would it be easier to just send links to two different html pages,
each with
different Flash Vars? The idea I had was to simply have one swf.
Thanks,

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
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 );
