Hi,  
I want to send parameters from my HTML file to Flash file using the FlashVars tag. I used the following procedure but it isnt working -

In Flash file -  
var actionId:String = root.loaderInfo.parameters.actionId;

In html file -

… )

NULL value is being passed instead of actionId as 11. What could be the issue here ? Please help.  
Thanks in advance,
