Question

Im stuck

I got this flash that need’s to be configured in a certain way

My code looks like this

HTML

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="banner.swf" width="896" height="240">
    <param name="movie" value="banner.swf" />
    <param name="flashvars" value="hrefUrl=http://stackoverflow.com&popup=true" /> 
</object>

Actionscript

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;

//var paramList:Object = root.loaderInfo.parameters;
//var flashVars:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;

// Url to page, default to google
var hrefUrl:String = (root.loaderInfo.parameters.hrefUrl) ? root.loaderInfo.parameters.hrefUrl : "http://www.google.com";

// Popup or not, default to _self
var popup:String = (root.loaderInfo.parameters.popup == "true") ? "_blank" : "_self";

// Fire the event
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

function onClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest(hrefUrl), popup);
}

For some reason this doesn’t work but if I for some reason put the flashvars in the data parameter it works

Example

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="banner.swf?hrefUrl=http://stackoverflow.com&popup=true" width="896" height="240">

What could be wrong here? I’ve starred myself blind on this one

Thanks

May be root is not targeting [object MainTimeline]. So go with stage.
