[SWFObject] Adding vars to SWFobject in Flash runtime

[Danya Henninger]

I guess this is getting off the SWFObject topic.  But (somewhat) briefly,
your code is Flash should have something like:

//
function playVideo(vidToPlay){
    flv_player.contentPath = vidToPlay;
}
//

Then, because of the Callback you've registered (in my previous posts), the
JS function "playVideo" will call the Flash function "playVideo".  Whatever
string you pass to the JS function will be passed to your Flash function.
So if you have:
<a href="#" onclick="callFlashPlayVideo('flv/video2.flv')" > See other movie
</a>
that will pass the string "flv/video2.flv" to your function in Flash, which
will be passed as (vidToPlay) and end up evaluating like this when you click
the link:

flv_player.contentPath = "flv/video2.flv"

Since you want the player to start out with a certain video playing already,
before anything is clicked, you'll pass that string in with the
so.addVariable parameter as "flv_path" so it's available when the SWF first
loads.

Instead of writing this line:  flv_player.contentPath = _root.flv_path;

Write this line: playVideo(_root.flv_path);
