RE: FLASH: Flash: passing variables by using the parameters

[Gareth Vaughan]

	Sorry maybe I wasn't clear, the only way that flash can recieve the

variables is if they are URL encoded (all the '+' and '&' characters etc)

whether they are called from a text file or from the URL or from the <PARAM>

.


	All the parameters box in dreamweaver does is produce the parameter

code i quoted in my previous message, hence the parameters window would have

something like 'movie' in the parameter box and

"mymenu.swf?menu1=Main+Page&menu1_URL=theurl&menu1_target=content&menu in

the value box.


	> Is it possible to pass these variables by using the parameters

that are

	> passed to the flash movie?


	You asked if it was possible to pass the variables using the

parameters passed to the flash movie, it is, that's how you do it. You won't

get an easy to use list in the Dreamweaver parameters window because that's

not how dreamweaver works.


	so i guess the answer to your question is no.

	>>To pass variables to a flash movie use this <PARAM NAME=movie

	

>>VALUE="mymenu.swf?menu1=Main+Page&menu1_URL=theurl&menu1_target=content&me

nu

	>>2=About+Me...">


	I would like to do this by using the parameters, because dreamweaver

offers an edit window for the parameters:

	Another reason is that it would not be overviewable if I have to

pass 50 variables or more likt the method above.

	I don't even know what's the limit for the number of chars after the

?-sign..

dreamweaver.
