How to use FlashVars with flashbuilder 4.5

[ksukat]

Greetings,

Running Flashbuilder 4.5 Premium for php. 

I need to use flashvars to pass data to my application.  Since you have to modify the html wrapper to define the flashvars,

and since flashbuilder generates debug version, etc, I need to know how to properly setup and use flashvars in flashbuilder.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Again,

I will answer my own question.

edit the index.template.html file in the html-template folder.   In the javascript section of the file, add the

flashvars statement right after the line var falshvars ={};

mine looks like: flashvars.myVar = "myHost"

reference the flashvars in my application by adding code to the application creationComplete event handler.

FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters contains the flashvars.

I look through them looking for my specific variable.
