Hi,

Im having problems passing args to flash but when using php header("Location: filename?args") function to act as a swf file. It works with firefox but not with Internet Explorer.

<object id="flashfile_obj" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="get_file.php?name=<?=urlencode("test.swf?&test_to_swf=1")?>" width="900" height="500">
<param name="movie" value="get_file.php?name=<?=urlencode("test.swf?&test_to_swf=1")?>"/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="base" value="_dir" />
</object>

The file get_file.php has the code:

<?php
header("Location: ".$_REQUEST["name"]);
?>

It works on firefox but not in Internet Explorer. The flash is loaded but the argument is not passed.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Excellent work... can\'t tell you how much I appreciate it, but one of THE most useful pieces of JavaScript I\'ve ever come across.

This plus a little parameter validation can go a long way towards making JS play with the "grown up" server-side languages... add in HTML5 offline storage/caching, message push, capabilities http://html5demos.com/
and its yet another reason I think pretty soon we will do almost everything but heavy-lifting and distributed processing algorithm/tasks in the browser.

function urldigest()
{
	var tmp = window.location.href.split("?");
	tmp = tmp[1].split("#");
	
	this.anchor = tmp[1];
	tmp = tmp[0].split("&");
		
	for(var i=0; i<tmp.length; i++)
	{
		var record = tmp[i].split("=");
		eval("this."+record[0]+" = "+\'"\'+record[1]+\'"\');
	}
	
}

var httpGET = new urldigest();

why don\'t you try splitting by ? using the first array result[1] not [0] then split by # and then [0] by &, on a series of splits produces raw records which you can split by = and urldecode, you can load

At first thanks a lot of your article. I am using it to find out specific parameter\'s value from url. I got a problem. When my url like following
http://www.test.com?param1=IS20&21&param2=abcd
That means if parameter\'s value contain \'&\' then it creates a problem.
It does not pick up the actual data.
I need like that

param1=IS20&2
param2=abcd

please help me!
