Hyperlink set XY position

hi,

All you have to do is grab use the variables that are present in the url. For example:

code:

---

my_mc._x = x;

my_mc._y = y;

---

And don't forget that those parameters in the url have to be a query string, of variable value / name pairs.
Something like:

http://www.mydomain.com/flash.swf?x=100&y=200

hi,

That's exactly the logic explained here, but instead of a variable frame you'll be passing two variables: x and y.

It doesn't matter if you've got an .html or .php file.

Not exactly.

You are at carltaylor.eu/map.php?x=100&y=200 just like you want.

The 'correct' way to pass variables into Flash is via FlashVars.

The wonderful SWFObject allows you to do it very easily, as it can automatically fetch your variables from the url, - like shown on the other post and its links - and pass them into Flash.

So, if i have read it correctly I should enter the following into the html for the swf to work.

<script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new SWFObject("ex.swf", "map", "200", "100", "7", "#336699");
   so.addVariable("x", getQueryParamValue("x"));
   so.addVariable("y", getQueryParamValue("y"));
   so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

Thanks for being so patient

Yes. That's it!
You may adjust the background color and the Flash Player version you're targeting.


You're welcome.

If you aren't familiar already with it already, take some time to read the article on SWFObject as it's very useful.
It does simplify things and solves some 'problems'.

Added code tags to your post as it makes code more readable.

No luck :-(. Iv'e entered the code into http://www.carltaylor.eu/map.php?x=100&y=200

But the swf doesn't display and inserts the following"This text is replaced by the Flash movie."
Any ideas *sorry*

[nunomira]

The swfobject.js file doesn't exist.
At least, where it should be, which, according to the code you have, is the same folder as the .php file is.

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
