[thomasoa]

Hello - i am needing to do flash vars and have used the tutorial with this code

if (movie==1 or movie=="") {
trace("default");
}
if (movie==2) {
getURL("http://www.yahoo.com");
}

what do i need to do to the html to make this work?

thanks

If your flashVar is called "movie" then you may need to reference it directly off of the root timeline, for examples:

In your HTML:


<embed src="myMovie.swf?movie=2" />



In your ActionScript


trace ("flashVar: " + _root["movie"]); // traces 'flashVar: 2'

Is it an AS2 or AS3 project?
