Help!!
I have committed to doing something that I thought would be really easy, but I can’t get it to work.
I want to be able to call an HTML page containing a Flash movie and have that Flash movie pick up a value from the URL of the page in which it sits.
So, I want to create a link to the HTML page such as:
<a href=“www.someserver.com/mypage.html?myname=John”>Click here</a>
This will open the browser page so that the URL is:
http://www.someserver.com/mypage.html?myname=John
I then want the Flash movie on mypage.html to read in the value John and put it into the movie variable myname.
I can see how to do it using pre-coded parameters as part of the HTML that loads the SWF, but I want the value to be determined by the calling link, not predetermined within the HTML on the movie page.
I also don’t want to have to create a dynamic HTML page for my movie if I can avoid it.
Does that make sense?
Can it be done?
HEEELP please. A speedy response will earn my undying gratitude and £50 to the Disaster Emergency Committee appeal for flood relief in Pakistan.
