[flexcoders] Re: Application.application.parameters doesn't hold GET query parameters
Well, the documentation sure says so:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/core/Application.html#parameters
I had it working with swfobject using the getQueryParamValue function
in JS. I think I my just stick with that, and use swfaddress for my
deep linking. Still would like to know what is up with the
documentation though. All my web searches seem to imply that it just
supposed to work.
Thanks

However, here are a few ways you can do it:
- Write a javascript (or serverside) method that takes the
browsers query
string and the passes them in as flashvars.
- You CAN add a query string directly to the embed code, (ex
UrlParams.swf?foo=bar), Those will be treated as flashvars as well.
- If you have javascript access on the page, add an ExternalInterface
call which will return the query string to your swf.
Hope that helps,

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Application.application.parameters doesn't hold GET query parameters
I think you're just misreading the documentation. It's exactly as I
described before:
There are two sources of parameters: the query string of the Application's
URL, and the value of the FlashVars HTML parameter (this affects only the
main Application).
Within the query string of the application's URL... UrlParams.swf?foo=bar
The application's URL, not the web page URL where the flash file is being
embedded.
and
FlashVars

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Application.application.parameters doesn't hold GET query parameters
That didn't come out how I wanted it to. Let's try again.
I can see how the documentation can be confusing. When they say, Within
the query string of the application's URL, they simply mean the URL
pointing to the flash file itself. (ex:
http://foobar.com/UrlParams.swf?foo=bar)
Yea, that's much nicer.

You should be able to use BrowserManager instead of altering your HTML.

[flexcoders] Re: Application.application.parameters doesn't hold GET query parameters
Thanks for all the replies. Yeah I thought about it over lunch and it
occurred to me that I might only get the params when I reference the
.swf file directly. I think I will stick with my current
implementation using swfobject.

Checkout BrowserManager. You may want to use it elsewhere in your app.
