I’ve got a weird problem with loading Flashvars into my flash application. I tried to isolate the code and try it in an other document, but the object returned is still empty.

This is my HTML code:

<div id="Div1">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="630" height="671" id="testApp" align="middle">
    <param name="movie" value="{$this->siteUrl}/flash/testVars.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <param name="play" value="true" />
    <param name="loop" value="true" />
    <param name="wmode" value="window" />
    <param name="scale" value="showall" />
    <param name="menu" value="true" />
    <param name="FlashVars" value="one=1&two=2" />
    <param name="devicefont" value="false" />
    <param name="salign" value="" />
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{$this->siteUrl}/flash/testVars.swf" width="630" height="671">
        <param name="movie" value="{$this->siteUrl}/flash/testVars.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
        <param name="play" value="true" />
        <param name="loop" value="true" />
        <param name="FlashVars" value="one=1&two=2" />
        <param name="wmode" value="window" />
        <param name="scale" value="showall" />
        <param name="menu" value="true" />
        <param name="devicefont" value="false" />
        <param name="salign" value="" />
        <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
    <!--<![endif]-->
        <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash">
            <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
        </a>
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
    </object>
    <!--<![endif]-->
</object>

This is my as3 code:

ExternalInterface.call('console.log', "Begin")
var obj:Object = this.loaderInfo.parameters;
for(var i:String in obj)
{
    this[i] = obj[i];
    ExternalInterface.call('console.log', "Parsing: " + i + " - " + obj[i])
}

It show begin nicely in the console window of Chrome, but it does not print the flashvars. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

    Ok, so this is a ‘bug’ in Flash with the TLF Text component.
    Including a TLF Text element within your document also includes the Text Layout Framework Runtime Shared Library (TLF RSL). The RSL prepends a preloader before your main movie

    This means that your swf is no longer the first movie loaded and so it renders the FlashVars unaccesable.
