RE: [flexcoders] Re: flashvars hate me
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?)

This is what I did to use flashvars:
AS
for (var i:String in Application.application.parameters) {
if (i=='woo')
woo=Application.application.parameters[i];
}
html
AC_FL_RunContent(
...
flashvars,'woo=jabadabaduuhistoryUrl=history.htm%3Flconid=' +
lc_id + '',
...
)

I can't get flashvars to work... It seems pretty basic, but no
mater
what I do they don't seem to show up in flex.
AS:
woo = Application.application.parameters.url;
HTML:
param name=FlashVars value=url=woo /
embed ...
flashvars=url=woo
/embed
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Re: [flexcoders] Re: flashvars hate me
Ok, I checked that page again (saw it during my current hunt) and think I'm doing everything in it. I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing, but this is my typical flex problem: something really basic takes me hours to do because I can't figure out the exact syntax.
