Can Flasvars be passed to the loaded external swf?

[vladc77]

I am wondering if you know how I can pass flashvars to a child swf. I am loading an external swf into main swf. The loaded swf has to be able to read flashvars from html. Any ideas???
Thanks.

You only need to worry about getting the values into the parent movie.
Just create a few public variables on the child .swf. Then when it's fully loaded (Event.COMPLETE) have the parent movie assign values to those vars.

Actually, It was not hard at all. Here what I did:

import flash.display.Stage;  
import flash.display.Sprite;  
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.DisplayObject

var loader2:Loader=new Loader();
loader2.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));
loader2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadClip);
loader2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadHandler);
stage.addChild(loader2);


if(root.loaderInfo.parameters["xmlfile"] != null){
    txt.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters["xmlfile"];
}


function loadHandler(event:Event):void 
{ 
  var childSwf:Object = event.target.content; 
   loadedSwf.txt.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters["xmlfile"]||"";
}

As a result, the texfield in the loaded movie.swf shows the value of Flashvar
Thakn you for te tip.

I am wondering if you can advice on how to make this value be seen by XMLLoader I created in the movie.swf.

I use Eventdispatcher class which has static const defined:

public static const CONFIG_XML_URL:String = "xml/config.xml";

public function load():void {

// Create a new XMLLoader object
configXMLLoader = new XMLLoader(CONFIG_XML_URL);

// Add an event listener to be dispatched when xml is parsed.
configXMLLoader.addEventListener(XMLLoader.XML_LOA DED, onConfigXMLLoaded);

// Start loading the file
configXMLLoader.load();

}


THe idea is to pass flashvar which will be then a passed to xml loader. It become a little bit complex.

I need to be able to pass flashvar string to there XMLLoader. Any ideas? Thank you.
