I am trying to pass parameters to my .swf generated like this:

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/admin/Desktop/flash/comm\_law/Dominoes.swf?n1=4

And have included the following code in my document class.

private var n1:int = getSWFParam(n1,5);  
protected function getSWFParam(num:int, defaultValue:int):int  
{  
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;  
if(paramObj[num] != 0)  
return paramObj[num];  
else  
return defaultValue;  
}

But somehow the code is executing assuming a value of n1=2, although I have not assigned n1 as 2 anywhere. Where am I going wrong?
