Read request URL in Flash

I am not a flash developer, but I am stuck with a flash developer, stuck with a third party program in ActionScript1.

I asked him to get the request URL of the page which embeds the flash object (like reading the address bar in the browser). and then get Query string variables and send it back to an application.

How to read those variables? Remember it is action script1.

Thanks

Solution

  • Actually I used javascript like this, thanks

    <script type="text/javascript">
        function writeFlash()
        {
            var id = '';

            var queryString = new String();
            queryString = window.location.search;

            if (queryString != null)
            {
                var parts = new Array();
                parts = queryString.split("&");

                parts = parts[0].split("=");
                id = parts[1];

            }



            var ieObj = '<div id="flashContent">'
            + '<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="1200" height="800" id="BookFlipping" align="middle">'
