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...
expanding on rcdmk's answer, the value that flashvars expects is just a standard query string with keys and values a=b&c=d&so_on=so_forth.
What you have shown in your code is that you're having some engine insert some value into your HTML renderer. That's fine, but then you need to show a sample of what this substitution will produce. If it's not producing something that looks like the query above, then it won't work. And if it' producing something that has a quote in it, then obviously once it's being parsed it will choke on an incomplete tag (as your substitution will end the tag prematurely and throw everything into the crapper).
