Question

IE11 and FlashVars.

Hi,

   I have a application that uses flashvars to pass parameters to a swf. AS3. This has worked for years. Now, with IE11, the flashvars no longer are visible to the

SWF.

in HTML:

                <param name="=FlashVars" value="dataSourceBeanName=tvContext&contextRoot=2Fem&doDbgLog=true&showNavigator=true&noRightClick=false" />

in actionscript:

var p:Object = mx.core.Application.application.parameters;

for (var keyStr:String in p)

    {

        trace("params[" + keyStr + "] =" + p[keyStr]);

    }

produces nothing in IE11, chrome, firefox, safari and older IE is fine. My application is broken in IE11.

I am using the latest version 12 activex plugin.

HELP!

Thanks,

Larry

The name attribute looks incorrect to me. Maybe older browsers are more tolerant?

Thanks, I played with the flashvars case. I tried flashVars, flashvars, and FlashVars.... Which I had seen in examples around.

Last one I tried was from an Adobe example :

FlashVars: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/pass-variables-swfs-flashvars.html

flashvars : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/flash-object-embed-tag-attributes.html

flashVars : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf626ae-7feb.html

Still no joy.

I did notice that IE does lowercase flashvars in the !IE object (non-activeX), but that should not matter. This is pasted from the DOM in IE webdeveloper.

<object width="100%" height="500" id="topo" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" style="z-index: 10;" onbeforeunload="beforeunload1(event)">

                <param name="movie" value="EmTopo.swf">

                <param name="quality" value="high">

                <param name="bgcolor" value="#869ca7">

                <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">

                <param name="wmode" value="transparent">

                <param name="allowNetworking" value="all">

                <param name="=flashVars" value="&dataSourceBeanName=tvContext&contextRoot=2Fem&doDbgLog=true&showNavigator=true&noRightClick=false">

                <!--[if !IE]>-->

                <object name="topo" width="100%" height="500" tabindex="0" align="middle" data="EmTopo.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true" loop="false" flashvars="dataSourceBeanName=tvContext&contextRoot=%2Fem&doDbgLog=true&noRightClick=false&showNavigator=true&showButtonCenter=false" bgcolor="#869ca8" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all">        

                <!--<![endif]-->

                                <p> Alternate text </p>

                <!--[if !IE]>-->

                </object>

                <!--<![endif]-->  

              <div id="tvAlignDivtopo" style="left: 561px; top: 577px; width: 1px; height: 1px; visibility: hidden; position: absolute;"></div></object>

It could just be a the forum formatting, but I am seeing an "=" (equals sign) before "flashvars" which could make a difference.
