FlashVars in Flex

Posted by David in Flex on December 11, 2006

Ray Camden has some examples on how you can pass FlashVars to your Flex apps as well as read them in a Flex app. Here is what he goes over:

HTML code:

"flashvars",'flashvar1=ray&flashvar2=camden&historyhistoryUrl=history.htm%3F&lconid=' + lc_id + '',

Flex code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns:comp="components.*">
   
   <mx:Script>
   <![CDATA[
   import mx.controls.Alert;
   
   private function test():void {
      Alert.show(this.parameters.flashvar1+' '+this.parameters.flashvar2, "Flashvars");   
   }
   ]]>
   </mx:Script>
   
   <mx:Button id="btnTest" label="Test" click="test()" />
   
</mx:Application>

"The FLEXifier allows you to experience Flex 2 for yourself, without needing to download or install anything. Of course, you really should download Flex Builder 2 to truly get a feel for Flex, but until you do so, you may use The FLEXifier to compile and run MXML and ActionScript code. Simply type your code below, and click the Try It! button. Start with code of your own, or use the select boxes below to select Flex code that you can tweak and modify as you see fit."

Flex DragRace at MAXUP/MAX

Posted by David in MAX , Flex on October 9, 2006

Tom Ortega will be hosting a Flex DragRace at MAXUP on Tues. Oct 24 from Noon-1PM. The idea is simple. Show up with your laptop and Flex installed. You will have thirty minutes to write an application. What application? I'm not telling. You have to show up to find out. We will then spend thirty minutes looking at what you wrote. It's ok if you don't finish completely. We will judge as a group and have significant prizes to give away.

See you at MAXUP!
