load query strings into flash doc

[nickg331]

hi. I need a flash doc that can load variables set in a query string, such as an image file name, and then display that image.

 

I've read this:

 

http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/flashQueryString/

 

and understand the theory, but what would the exact actionscript be to load the query string? i would have a url like www.asdf.com/index.html?imageFilename=images/image1.jpg and then the flash document would display that image.

 

thanks for any help.

Easy.

Have the php output like this:

&imgUrl=IMG URL HERE

 

And for flash, EDIT: sorry i cant do it, i deleted it and im busy, ask someone elso for this.

Im not sure, but isnt it something like

 <EMBED src="flaMovie1.swf?imageFilename=images%2Fimage1%2Ejpg" .....

 

then in ur action script variables go to _root is wat i understand.

 

like loadMovie(_root.imageFilename); function. i duno that tutorial u linked. explains it well. I dont have time to try it but in a few days i could?
