Question

Im using a few modules repeatedly in a Flex app and varying the conditions by passing in params via the ‘loaderInfo.url’ var. This works fine for the first iteration of a given module but subsequent attempts will always see the same params as the first creation regardless of what is actually used.

Is there some way to reset this value when the module is created?

private var moduleInfo : IModuleInfo;
private function loadPageModule( pathString : String, pageParam : String ) : void
{
    pathString = "modules/" + pathString + ".swf?param=" + pageParam;

    moduleInfo = ModuleManager.getModule( pathString );
    moduleInfo.addEventListener( ModuleEvent.READY, onPageModuleReady, false, 0, true);
    moduleInfo.load( ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null, null );
}

When I view the param in the ‘CreationComplete’ handler (eg ‘trace( this.loaderInfo.url );’) its the same every time (for a given module) regardless of what is actually passed in via the ?param=string. What am I doing wrong?

Well I don’t know why this is doing what its doing.. but.. an effective way to pass unique params to different instances of a module is to use the IModuleInfo.data param. The url method never worked properly (for me).
