FlashVars in Flex

0 views

Last month I wrote an <mx:RemoteObject id="core" destination="ColdFusion" showBusyCursor="true" > My Flex code was already running code on creationComplete: <mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="100%" height="100%" xmlns:views="views.*" creationComplete="init()" > So I simply updated my init() function: private var componentroot:String = ""; private function init():void {    componentroot = this.parameters.componentroot;    core.source = componentroot + "components.admin"; } As I mentioned in the To this: "flashvars",'componentroot=secretproject.server.&historyUrl= history.htm%3F&lconid='+ lc_id + '', This isn't the final step though. I'm deploying to a site running ColdFusion. I'll eventually change my index.html file to an index.cfm file and use an Application variable for the component root. So now I have a problem. The this.parameters structure only exists for the core Flex file of an application, not the children. How can I get my children to also use the value? I'm thinking what I'll do is pass the value from parent to child, since that is relatively easy to do. I could make the child run code to grab it from the parent, but that is such a pain to do. (More on that later.) I don't want to have to create a custom even just to read a simple value from the parent. (But that may just be me being lazy. :) http://ray.camdenfamily.com
