AS3: Pass variables using SWFObject2 and AS3

Published in: ActionScript 3 

For almost every Flash project I present on the web, I use SWFObject and with version 2 out, it's easier than ever to pass variables. This is how I collect variables using Flash CS3

Plain TextExpand 
  1. /*************************************
  2. This is how the SWF Object would look
  3. *************************************/
  4. <script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject.js"></script>
  5. <script type="text/javascript">
  6. 	var flashVars = { key: "AAA555XXXYYYZZZ", title: "This is my Title" };
  7. 	var flashParams = { menu: "false"};
  8.         var flashID = { id : "swfContent" };
  9. 	swfobject.embedSWF("main.swf", "swfContent", "550", "400", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf",  flashVars, flashParams, flashID);	
  10. </script>
  11.  
  12. /*************************************
  13. Place this code in the Actions window of Flash CS3
  14. *************************************/
  15.  
  16. var APP_ID:String = getFlashVars().key;
  17. var title:String = getFlashVars().title;
  18.  
  19. function getFlashVars():Object
  20. {
  21.  return Object( LoaderInfo( this.loaderInfo ).parameters );
  22. }
