Question

How can I use URL parameters while debugging in Flash Builder 4?

Answer 1

Modify your html template

In the "html-template" directory in your project open "index-template.html" up and modify the following lines of code to suite your needs:

var flashvars = {};
        if (swfobject.getQueryParamValue("foo") && swfobject.getQueryParamValue("abc")) {
          flashvars.foo = swfobject.getQueryParamValue("foo");
          flashvars.abc = swfobject.getQueryParamValue("abc");
        }

Please note that this is for a Flex 4 SDK project.

Answer 2

You can modify the url that is used when FB launches the project for debugging in the project properties. Just set your parameters there and them access them through the usual FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.
