Here’s a very handy javascript function to grab FlashVars from the URL. ‘GUP’ Get URL Parameters can sit in your html or in an external js file.
function gup(name){
name = name.replace(/[\[]/,"\\\[").replace(/[\]]/,"\\\]");
var regexS = "[\\?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";
var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );
if( results == null ) return "";
else return results[1];
}
And then when you create your SWF object, pass in the value name you are looking for (in this case ‘page’)
var so = new SWFObject("loader.swf?page="+gup('page'), ...
Hi – thanks for this solution – I’m no code-guy so i have no idea how to pass two variables in this way. Could you help?
Thanks again
