passing parameter/variable from url to swf ?!
hey,
i am trying to define a parameter/variable in my html file and pass it through to the embedded swf file:
Code:
<param name="movie" value="index.swf?wmode=transparent&index=XXX">
...
<embed src="index.swf?wmode=transparent&index=XXX" width="200" height="910" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" name="nav"></embed>
is there any method to read a part or the whole url?
e.g. www.website.com/XXX (oder www.website.com/#XXX)
..and then forwarding the XXX to the swf??
index=XXX
is something like that possible anyhow?
Use javascript (FlashVars)
www.yourwebsite.com?indexvariable=hello
Code:
<head>
<script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" language="javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
var urladdress=window.location.href;
var myindex=urladdress.split("?indexvariable=")[1];
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase', 'http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0',
'width', '200',
'height', '910',
'src', 'index',
'quality', 'high',
'pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'align', 'middle',
'play', 'true',
'loop', 'true',
'scale', 'noscale',
'wmode', 'transparent',
'devicefont', 'false',
'FlashVars', 'swfindex='+myindex,
'id', 'index',
'bgcolor', '#000000',
'name', 'index',
'menu', 'true',
'allowFullScreen', 'false',
'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
'movie', 'index',
'salign', ''
);
</script>
</body>
Write this AS code on the main timeline(frame)
Code:
var variableFromHtml=swfindex;
trace(variableFromHtml);
// output: hello
