Variable Question

[ctsttom]

i have a variable set by a query sting which is $showshout and what i need to do is pass this variable to a flash file and print the variable as part of a url (index.php?showshout=$showshout) guys got any idea?

From my understanding, variables aren't passed directly to flash files - the flash file goes out an dretrieves the info.

If you are trying to pass a value to a file that calls to a flash file, and that flash file is set to load a variable from that page, then yes, you would link to the file as such:

<a href="whatever.php?var=<? echo $var; ?>">

you can pass variables to a flash file, but then in the file you'd need to parse the string using actionscript.

flashfile.swf?var1,var2,var3

I don't believe flash will parse the query string for you.

check out http://www.flashkit.com for more actionscripting advice in relation to passing variables.
