I’m trying to do a Christmas Calendar in Flash. I’m using buttons for the 24 days, that I want to activate depending on the date. Since I can’t count on clientcomputers having the correct date set I want to use the date from the server and pass it into Flash. Now I found out on the Macromedia website, that you can use FlashVars as a ActiveX Parameter to pass values into Flash. So far so good. How do i address the variable in Flash then? Using a syntax like this
FlashVars="datum=DAY_OF_MONTH" //DAY_OF_MONTH holds the date I get from the server
in my html file, that’s calling the .swf I should be able to simply use datum as a variable in Flash. However that doesn’t seem to work. Any advice?
