How to pass flashvars to standalone flash player

Question

Is it possible to pass flashvars to standalone flash player via the commandline? Among other reasons, I want to run some unit tests from the command line.

I have done some Google searches, the question has been asked before but no answer that I can find.

Answer 1

Yes, I figured this out today(Say you have a flashvar called "p"):

flashplayer.exe "file://c:\myswf.swf?p=100"

Works for the linux flashplayer too...

Answer 2

Try to pass command-line parameters to an .exe projector.

Alternatively, you might want to wrap your .swf on another, and have the wrapper load it with parameters, like this:

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("your_cool_app.swf");
request.data = "a=1&b=2"
loader.load(request);
