I need flash to read a url query string. I have found a way at:

[http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/set\_variables.htm#querystring](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/set_variables.htm#querystring)

It is the paragraph called “On a Query String in HTML tags”

I have uploaded my own fla and html file of the tutorial at macromedia.  
I am missing 1 part, you will see when you run the html file the querystring shows up in a text box. Great, But i need that data to go in a load sound command;

mySound.loadSound(urlstring, true);

Could someone please shed some light on how this is done?

🙂

You will have to save this txt file out as html because I can not upload html files.🙂

All you do is put the word text in loadsound command and all works well.

mySound.loadSound(text, true);

You can change the word in you html file to whatever you like.  
I now use url instead of text, makes more since then.

mySound.loadSound(url, true);

P.S. How do you upload two files at once in a single thread?
