Variations are good

No you know what we are "feeding" the URL.swf flash movie with. You could easily replace my 2 simple lines with some smart code that picks up values from hidden form fields or text boxes, etc. No let examine the sample flash file.

Look at the demo!

Go to http://www.TiranDagan.com/Personal/URL/demo.htm to see this trick in action. After you see the demo, read on to learn the last bit necessary to "capture" the information from within Flash.

Capture the parameters in Flash

This part is really simple. Once the SWF file is launched with the parameters as the name of the file, they become available through the _URL property. What I did  in my FLA is to decode (unescape) the _URL property, and display it. Look at the included FLA source code attached to this project, and you are set.

s = unescape (_URL);
ueURL = s.substr(s.indexOf ("?")+1,s.length);

Fig. 4 – The code in Frame 1 of the FLA

Comment: "ueURL" is a dynamic text box on frame one which displays the parameter from within the URL.

If you have any other questions about this code drop me a line at tiran@TiranDagan.com and visit my website www.6footmedia.com. If you are interested in further development of this concept, feel free to contact us.
