well you are on the right track... 

the one difference you'll have with getQueryParamValue() is that it returns
an empty string if the value isn't found, so instead of checking for null,
you'll want to check for an empty string.

you could modify your code in the flash movies like so:

if (vol == null || vol == "") vol = 100;

Hello, I need to set a variable called "vol" (volume) to 100 when first
entering our homepage, and then allowing the visitor to change it with a
slider, so I need to pass its value from page to page. (The web is made from
several html pages with one flash in each).

Before the EOLAS issue I used the following html code in every page to get
variables from the url:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write(
'<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"\n'+
' codebase="
<http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version
=6,0,29,0>
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=
6,0,29,0" width="975" height="580" ID="inquiero">\n'+
' <param name=movie VALUE="index.swf'+document.location.search+'">\n'+
' <param name=quality VALUE=best>\n'+
' <param name=wmode VALUE=transparent>\n'+
' <embed src="index.swf'+document.location.search+'"\n'+
' quality=best wmode=transparent width="975" height="580"
align="absmiddle"\n'+
' type="application/x-shockwave-flash"\n'+
' pluginspage="\n'"
<http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Shoc
kwaveFlash>
>http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Shoc
kwaveFlash"></embed>\n'+ 
'</OBJECT>');
//-->
</SCRIPT>

and the following AS inside the flash:

if (vol==null) {vol=100};

So when first entering any page the value of "vol" was set to 100 if it
wasn't passed from the url.

How should I use Geoff's SWFObject to achieve the same?


I tried on every html:
so.addVariable("vol", getQueryParamValue ("vol"));
and inside every flash:
if (vol==null) {vol=100};

But "vol" always sets to 0.

Could you give a hand here? Thank you in advance.
