I’m posting this up here because I hope someone will find it and discover they did not do something stupid, Adobe did. Basically if you want to use any flashvars in Flash CS5, you must use the work around provided here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/644057. Basically the new built in preloader (which I’m not sure if you can disable or not) causes all flashvars specified to be set to undefined. Not a handy feature at all. Not sure how that one slipped passed testing, unless no one uses flashvars anymore, but that must not be case then is it?
Thanks! I was starting to pull my hair out!
thank you so much, i’ve lost all f** day on this s***
Man… I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I have been out of flash for a few years and came back to build a video player. Everything was going great, until I tried to pass in a flashvar. I have been beating my head against the wall for 2 days now, thinking that I had become completely incompetent in flash…. How could I not be able to do something as simple as pass a flashvar in…????
Can’t thank you enough for posting this!
