Pass XML file into Flash through HTML

programming flash
1

Hey all,

So here’s my dilemma…
I’m creating a flash banner applet to display a list of sponsors for a client. It’s something that’ll be reused on multiple occasions for different reasons. So what I need to figure out is, being able to pass a variable into Flash from the Object and Embed tags in HTML. This is an example of what I need to accomplish :

<object height="150" width="100%">
      <param name="movie" value="http://example.com/applet.swf" />
      <param name="imagelist" value="http://example.com/path/to/imagelist.xml" />
      <embed height="150" width="100%" imagelist="http://example.com/path/to/imagelist.xml" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://example.com/applet.swf"></embed>
    </object>

I need to be able to call the “imagelist” in Flash so that they can just edit this code in order to change the xml file and location and use this wherever they see need.

Is it a simple solution? Because I’ve searched everywhere and can’t seem to get a solution to this.

Thank you!
