How do I get the FlashVars values in ActionScript 2.0?

Question

I need to dynamically send flashvars value from <object>/<embed>

for example "<object name="flashvars" value="test=myxml.xml">

to my swf file.

And in my AS I have this:

var xmlPath:String = _level0.test;
doc.load(xmlPath);

So, this way I want to read multiple XML files (at least that's my intention!). But nothing I do is working ...

I have also tried

doc.load(_root.test)

but it didn't work either.

If I do this:

doc.load("someXML.xml")

It works great !!

I've been trying to solve this for hours and still haven't found a solution!

Thanks in advance!

XHTML / html5:

<param name="FlashVars" value="flvurl=coolmovie" />

AS2:

myFLV.source = "http://www.dom.tld/flv/"+root.loaderInfo.parameters.flvurl+".flv";

I think the problem is with your HTML markup:

For a tag, <object>

you need to use the param tag in it, for example

<object ...>
<param name="FlashVars" value="test=myxml.xml">
</object>

For a tag, <embed>

its tag attribute is

<embed FlashVars="test=myxml.xml" ...>
