FlashVars QueryString

I'm unclear on the proper format for passing a QueryString Value using FlashVars, this is what I'm trying

<param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString["part"] %>" />

but this causes a parse/encode error and the swf doesnt load, same if I use single quotes ie

<param name="FlashVars" value="part=<%= Request.QueryString['part'] %>" />

Any takers?

Cheers

Solution

  • If you are working with HTML, use the variable itself:

    <param name="FlashVars" value="part=valueOfPartGoesHere&anotherPart=anotherPartValueGoesHere" />

    For embed tags (required for FF and other browsers):

    <embed flashvars="part=valueOfPartGoesHere&anotherPart=anotherPartValueGoesHere" />

    Fot this to be dynamic you have to run a PHP, ASP or other dynamic language/platform.

    If you are using PHP, use: 

    <?php echo $_GET['part']; ?>

    instead of

    <%= Request.QueryString['part'] %>

    For ASP:

    <%= Request.QueryString("part") %>

    And so on...
