I know that google is littered with tutorials on this but I have been having a hard time getting this to work. There is a variable in my flash object that stores a URL of a website and I need to change it through my asp.net page

Here is my object tag

                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="WebConference/bin-release/WebConference.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
                    
                    <Param name="FlashVars" Value="room=2">
                    <param name="quality" value="high" />

                    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />

                    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

                    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

Here is my attempt to get at the "room" variable in my FlashVars parameter.

protected function creationComplete():void
			{
				this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);
			}
			
			
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
					for (keyStr in paramObj)
					{
valueStr = String(paramObj["room"]);					}
roomName = valueStr;
//Get roomname from the Application parameters, 4/7/2011
				}
				catch(error:Error)
				{
					
				}
				
			
			protected function loaderComplete(myEvent:Event):void
			{
				var flashVars = this.loaderInfo.parameters;
				roomName = flashVars.room;
			}
			

Does anybody see what I am doing wrong? This seems to be the proper way to do it from what I read but I haven't been having any luck. Thanks!

Where did you copy the Actionscript code from ? It is incorrect. Try this :

try {
 var value:String;
 var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
 value = String(paramObj["room"]);
 trace(value);
}catch (error:Error) {
 trace(error.toString());
}

Your above code uses a for-in loop to iterate over all the variables passed. But in your case, you pass just one variable which is room. So you can straightaway use it.

Why don't you try parsing XML?
