Hey Guys,
I’ve been given a bit of a dog to work on. I’m upgrading a flash presentation that runs via an xml feed. I’ve added several dynamic flash graph generators external swfs through this data feed but can’t seem to pass a query string to the flash presentation via this xml feed. This query string provides an alternate XML datasource for the graph generator.s
I would really like to be able to pass this query string as the current flash graph generators are running off a hardcoded xml filename and I would like to offer some flexibility. I’ve investigated further and the main presentation loads these extra “slides” with the loadMovie AS which should accept query strings but NOT locally. Is there a workaround to make loadMovie work with query strings locally? I can’t run the presenation on a server!!
For example. This XML works locally with the flash presentation;
<slide>
<name>Chart 1</name>
<bullet>chart01.swf</bullet>
</slide>
But this doesn’t work locally but does work when running off server;
<slide>
<name>Chart 1</name>
<bullet>chart01.swf?datasource=chart05.xml</bullet>
</slide>
My head hurts.
Thanks in advance for any advice. Even a straightforward “It won’t work locally” will help.
Steven.
