Thanks..

From my code:
var fnCFG:String = this.parameters.cfg;

I tried your version with this.loaderInfo.parameters.cfg and it didn't work.

I took out loaderInfo and it worked again.

That's all I've got for now.

It seems odd to me that you joined this forum over four years ago and are still struggling with FlashVars.

your param tags need to end with a forward slash:

<param name="quality" value="high" />

Sorry I couldn't help - I'll leave it at this. Your original code had noscript tags around the object embed. But there was nothing in the script section to run your page. In the html you showed, the noscript tags shouldn't be there, and your page won't run that way.

You need a flashvars in the AC_FL_RunContent call. I guess that is the Javascript to load your page but none of the parameters match what's in the noscript section. Also as a I said you need to pass FlashVars in there as well. Or just remove it. Right now its calling AC_FL_Runcontent. (At first glance I thought that was loading the Flash Installer.)

</object>

</body>
</html>

public function processLoadVar():void
{

_timer = new Timer( 40, 0 );
_timer.addEventListener( TimerEvent.TIMER, isReady );
_timer.start();
}


private function isReady( e: TimerEvent )
{

_allFlashVars = LoaderInfo( (root as MovieClip).loaderInfo ).parameters;


var notEmpty: Boolean = false;

for( var all in _allFlashVars )
{
notEmpty = true;
break;
}

if( notEmpty )
{
_timer.stop();
loadvarReady();
}

}


flash vars are not always ready imediately especially if there are lots.

All those problems I originally mentioned in the html object embed section aren't the issue. I tried running my own page from Firefox with multiple flashvar sections in the embed tag and with no closing embed tag and surprisingly it ran anyway. (The embed tag is only relevant to Netscape browsers I think). Also, HTML doesn't care about the closing "/" either.

As I mentioned in my last post, Your AC_FL_RunContent call in the javascript section is what's running your page and it has nothing in it to set Flashvars. You need something like the following:

AC_FL_RunContent(
"src", "Rad38",
"width", "100%",
"height", "100%",
"align", "middle",
"id", "zzzzzzz4",
"quality", "high",
"bgcolor", "#869ca7",
"name", "zzzzzzz4",
"flashvars",'cfg=zzzzzzz4.xml',
//"flashvars",'historyUrl=history.htm&lconid=' + lc_id + '',
"allowScriptAccess","sameDomain",
"type", "application/x-shockwave-flash",
"pluginspage", "http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer",
"wmode", "transparent"
);


Since you enclosed the object-embed section in noscript tags it will only be executed if Javascript is not enabled. You could remove the noscript tags tags and the AC_FL_RunContent call and it would run, or you can fix the AC_FL_RunContent call. Your choice.
