How to take URL and split/string to get URL variables in Flash AS3
- by Leon
So I have a URL that I need my Flash movie to extract variables from:
example link:
http://www.example.com/example_xml.php?aID=1234&bID=5678
I need to get the aID and the bID numbers.
I'm able to get the full URL into a String via ExternalInterface
var url:String = ExternalInterface.call("window.location.href.toString");
if (url) testField.text = url;
Just unsure as how to manipulate the String to just get the 1234 and 5678 numbers.
Appreciate any tips, links or help with this!
