how to load vars from url

[Alfredo]

I want my application to load some vars from the url that its called.

For instance:
To call the app in this way: www.example.com/load.asp?var1=1&var2=2?var3=3
And Flash to load var1=1, var2=2 and var3=3

where var1, var2, var3 the names of 3 textboxes' var names.

Is that possible?

I'd really appreciate some help.

Thanks,
Al.

Jorge,

I've already read that tutorial and I found it very helpful, but not applicable in this case. I need to load vars directly from the url.

But thanks anyway.

Can you explain better your needs?

Sure,

Lets say I have a site and an application movie.swf.

Everytime a user click to execute the application, I open a new window with an .asp file and the flash app runs into this window.

I need to pass some variables from the asp to the swf, I would like to know if there's any way I can pass those variables in the url, I mean:

www.mysite.com/app.asp?var1=1&var2=2&var3=3

Can flash load the vars from a sentence like that?

Am I clear enough?
Please ask me if not.

Thanks in advance,
Al.

You can use flashvars to pass data to Flash dinamically, writing to the <object> tag. Check http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/flashvars.htm
