passing parameter/variable from url to swf ?!

**Mylander** · 10-23-2009, 05:18 AM

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&amp;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?

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
