FlashVars & AS3

So im trying to gain access to flash vars but i kept getting this error:

Line 27 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method LoaderInfo.

I have tried putting the below code in and outside of my class but it seems from what i have gathered that it thinks 'LoaderInfo' is another function which it is not.

public function getFlashVars():Object {
    var paramList:Object = LoaderInfo( this.root.loaderInfo ).parameters;
    var myParam:String = paramList["myParam"];
    return myParam;
}

How do i get around this?

Solution

  • It looks like you forgot the import for flash.display.LoaderInfo.

    But you can probably just as well omit the type cast:

    this.root.loaderInfo.parameters;
