Hey FlashKit community,

I have written a C++ .exe file that takes one parameter like this (if you were to run on the cmd line):

Code:
C:\>myprogram.exe http://whatever/something.mp3
It takes the parameter and makes this call to my .swf file:

Code:
C:\>myflash.swf?param1=http://whatever/something.mp3
However it notifies me that

Code:
The system cannot find the file myflash.swf?param1=http://whatever/something.mp3
myflash.swf does indeed exist in C:\, but Windows seems to think I'm making a call to an .mp3 file called myflash.swf?param1=http://whatever/something.mp3.

Now, in a web page, you can easily pass a variable to Flash using the QueryString, and nothing thinks that the file is really an mp3 file.

Why does Windows not recognize the QueryString when web browsers seem to be ok with them (even on my local machine)? Is there a known way around it or another way to pass the variable?

Thanks all,
