Hi Peter,
Just thought I’d throw in: say you have name/value flashVars dynamically written in your embed html page code and want to pull it in:

try {
var keyStr:String;
var valueStr:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (keyStr in paramObj) {
valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
if (keyStr == “stringYouAreLookingFor”) {
name = value;
}
}
} catch (error:Error) {
trace(”error in loading”);
}

I’m trying to get in the habit of using try/catch/finally as it makes debugging less painful

Thanks for this.. it is a BIG help. But… I am new to actionscript as can not figure something out. I want to get something back from the onLoaded function. How the heck do I get it? I show an object here.. but it could be a string or anything. I am guessing I need to return the object, but how do I do that with the onLoaded function?

here is the code:

function makeCall(functionName:String, userID:String, params:Object):Object {
var jParams:String = JSON.encode(params);
var serviceUrl:String = “http://” + ServiceHost + “/” + ServicePath + “/” + functionName;
var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(serviceUrl);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
myVariables.user = userID;
myVariables.data = jParams;
myRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
myRequest.data = myVariables;

function onLoaded(evt:Event):Object {
var oPayload:Object = JSON.decode(myLoader.data); // here is the object I would like to return!
}
myLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
myLoader.load(myRequest);
}

var ObjectIwant:Object = makeCall(”service”, “email”, oCredentials);

Any help would be awesome
