Inserting streaming flv video into flash movie with parameters

Hello,

I am working now with Flash, but I am rather beginner. I made a streaming flash movie (SWF) which imports an FLV file and plays in Flash for the visitor. But I have a lot of video files, and it has no sense to edit and publish all of them. That's why, my goal is to prepare only one SWF file which will load different videos depending on the parameters I give it for the PHP file that calls him.
E.g.:

videoframe.php?filename=01_first_streaming_video.f lv

The problem is, that I cannot load the value of "filename" into the movie, and I do not know how to use it. Please help me how can I use the "filename" variable in ActionScript and how can I set the "url" value of the Media dynamically.

Thanks for your help,

You need to use the FlashVars parameter from flash,

In the Object tag you can add the following:

<param name=FlashVars value="name=sunil&filename=data.txt&flvname=01_filename.flv">

The variables name, filename and flvname can be as per your choice..... This follows the same
query string approach

Thats it....

To access these variables in flash is even more simple. Just access _root.name, _root.filename
_root.flvname, etc...

Hope this helps.

Can someone please provide additional details as to where I call the variables in the Flash application
to be picked up by FlashVars.

I have a MediaController called "player" and a MediaDisplay called "screen". I have several FLV I would
like to play through this same Flash player, any further details about doing this would be most appreciated.
