I have a flash player embedded on page page.php?user=john using swfobject. The player calls the xml file content.php to get the results. I'm trying to get the user name from the url id. and fetch results based on that. I can get the username on page.php by doing $_GET['user'], but how can i pass that to content.php. Having read allot of articles online, i did the following,
I'm embedding the flash on page.php using swfobject like this
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {user:"<?php $_GET[user] ?>"};
var so = new SWFObject("<?php echo $index->CFG['site']['url'];?>preview2.swf", "sotester", "1000", "400", "8", "#000000", flashvars);
so.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");
so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
so.addParam("menu", "false");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
In my AS2 file end of the file looks like
var paramList:Object = this.root.loaderInfo.parameters;
trace(paramList["user"])
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("contentp.php?user=" + user);
So basically, i'm trying to pass $_GET['user'] from page.php to my swf file which calls content.php. Then swf would pass that value to content.php. I believe i provided you with all the information needed. Any help would be appreciated.
PS: right now as i have it, looking at console, i see Request URL:http://www.domain.com/content.php?user=undefined
. So it's coming as undefined.
