What youll learn:
Youll learn how to pass variables from the URL into Flash, using SWFObject and FlashVars.
Scenario:
Recently Ive had to develop an application that would allow the users to create a sports card with their photo, name and favourite number on it.
This application had a form outside of Flash and my task was to integrate the Flash application which was on a page whose URL was something like:
http://www.mydomain.com/?firstname=john&lastname=doe&number=55
that was generated by the form.
This means that we have three variables:
firstname, lastname and number, with the values of john, doe and 55 respectively.
These are the variables we're interesting in and have to make available to Flash.
