I'm pretty new to AS, I've tried for 2 days to find the info on how to do this, but I am unable to.

I have a music community website, of course each member can upload their mp3 files, and a unique playlist.xml gets written for each member in their unique folder, the flash player lives in the root, and the xml lives in the members folder, so I am using the flashvars to call the proper xml, but I have absolutely no clue on how to code the as3 to pick up on the flashvars.

so here is what the object tage in the html looks like

Code:

<param name="movie" value="flplayer.swf?<?php print"$id/playlist.xml" ?>">
            <embed src="flplayer.swf?<?php print "$id/playlist.xml" ?>">

so obviously it's calling for the playlist.xml for the profile being viewed at that moment. (please let me know if I have done this part wrong)

now as I said, I have no idea how to code the action script to read this, I was told to use loaderinfo.parameters .

keep in mind that the player I am using is a prebuilt one, I have modified it to suit another application, but now I want to use the same player for this.

I can't find any info to help me figure out how and what to change, here is the as3 for frame 1

stop();
 
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color = "0xFFFFFF";
 
list.setRendererStyle("textFormat", myFormat);
 
 
var trackToPlay:String;
var pausePosition:int = 0;
var songURL:URLRequest;
var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
var i:uint;
 
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "mp3_playlist.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
 
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
    
    myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
   var firstSong:String = myXML..Song.songTitle[0];
   var firstArtist:String = myXML..Song.songArtist[0];
   songURL = new URLRequest("mp3_files" + firstSong + ".mp3");
   status_txt.text = "1. "+firstSong +" - "+firstArtist;
         for each (var Song:XML in myXML..Song) {
             
             i++; 
             var songTitle:String = Song.songTitle.toString();
             var songArtist:String = Song.songArtist.toString();
             list.addItem( { label: i+". "+songTitle+" - "+songArtist, songString: songTitle, Artist: songArtist, songNum: i } );
 
         }
         var myArray = new Array (0,0);
         list.selectedIndices = myArray;
         gotoAndStop(3);
    
} 

and here is the song switching on frame 2

songURL = new URLRequest("mp3_files/" + trackToPlay + ".mp3"); 

I appreciate any help.
