Is there any way to pass command line parameters to a Flash projector in Windows? I have another application (in this case, an installer) that will need to communicate to a Flash projector (the same way flashvars work). I wasn't able to find any information online (everything seems to be focused on using FSCommand parameters for executing future projectors, which doesn't help me with calling the original one)...

I'm fairly sure that standard Flash projectors can not do this. However, other third party wrapper's such as MDM's Zinc or NorthCode's SWFStudio may offer that functionality.

If you have the file served behind an HTTP server, let's say http://domain.com/main.swf, you can choose the option Open URL from the projector and pass the flashvars along with the URL like so:
http://domain.com/main.swf?var1=value1&var2=value2

I wish that had been a possibility. The project I was working on was for a CD-ROM installer for enterprise customers, so we couldn't assume they had internet connectivity...

You could also do something like:file:///C/Users/User/Desktop/main.swfProbably would have also worked. :)
