Calling a function from an html link and passing multiple parameters

[m_andrews808]

Hi all

Okay I know how to call a function using an html link like this:

<a href="asfunction:_root.DoThis,Parameter">Click here</a>

my problem is I need to pass in several parameters but when I do this:

<a href="asfunction:_root.DoThis,Parameter1,Parameter2,Parameter3">Click here</a>

it passes one parameter with this value:

'Parameter1,Parameter2,Parameter3'

Does anyone know how I get round this?

Thanks in advance

try passing an array instead of individual variables.

Can't do that because the link is in a text file.
I can make some code to split the parameter up into many, but I want to know if there is an easier way of doing it.

Any other suggestions?

you can split the arguments using string.split on the arguments array.
eg:

function DoThis () {
trace ("arguments[0] = "+arguments[0])
argsSplit=arguments[0].split(",")
j=0;
while(j<argsSplit.length){
trace ("argsSplit"+j+"= " +argsSplit[j]);
j++
}
}

txt='<a href="asfunction:_root.DoThis,Parameter1,Parameter 2,Parameter3">Click here</a>'
