Placing shape with X Y values from hyperlink

[CarlT2007]

Hi people newbie here,

Iv'e been trying to find a way in which a shape in flash could be placed with the X Y values that were in the hyperlink. Is this possible?

Thanks for you help,
Carl

Do you mean the link that brought you to the page with the flash on it? If so, if the link looks something like this...www.myurl.com/index.htm?xLoc=100&yLoc=200

Then inside you movie you can call the variables xLoc and yLoc...

myClip._x = xLoc;
myClip._y = yLoc;

Hm, you may have to use loadVars or something like that. I'm sorry I can't spend more time, but I'm under the gun on a project.

I did a quick search and found this person is trying to do exactly the same thing as you. Watch this thread.

If you still don't have an answer this evening I'll try and get back to you.
