reading in params from page?

[whisperstorm]

Is there a mini-example somewhere of how to pass in parameters to an lzx via the embed call? I want to create an app which others can use and modify via URL params which can be changed in the wrapper HTML that embeds the lzx.

Well, your app will read whatever CGI GET variables were passed to the HTML wrapper page, using the getInitArg() method of the LzBrowser service. There's a Tip on that here:

ok what about the param settings via the object tag? I know I'm probably asking a painfully obvious question...

[antun]

There isn't a way of using the <param> property of the object tag. What you can do is to add request parameters to the app in the object tag:

myfile.lzx?lzt=swf&foo=bar

... (note you have to do this in 2 places) and you should be able to access foo in your LZX:


<canvas debug="true">
<button>
<method event="onclick">
debug.write( "foo is: " + global.foo );
</method>
</button>
</canvas>


However this is not recommended or supported at all, and may not work in future releases of the LPS!

Take care,
