Question

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

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…
