I was wondering if there is any way to send data from a link to a currently loaded flash file without reloading the page. I know you can grab external variables from within flash, but can you send them? The reason I’m asking is because I’ve been messing with a Flash mp3 player I made for my website for a while, and it would be infinitely more convenient if I didn’t have to set a movie size. The playlist is stored in an xml file and is loaded via flash. This means if I decide to change the length of my playlist, I have to change the dimensions of my swf. To make a long story even longer, I want to have just the player portion in flash (with all the actionscript and whatnot) but the playlist loaded and displayed outside. Is this possible?
Try to find more information about the onData() event.
Anything you echo with a “&” in front of a variable, will be loaded into flash.
I figured it out and I’ll post my solution sometime soon.
