See if this concept makes sense for your programmer...

You can actually include variables on the HTML page that the flash can view, read, and use for different things. This isn't all the embed code needed just the two lines of what it would look like.

The code would look something like this:

Code: Select all

<param name="flashvars" value= "urlcode=http://testsite.com?s38HbdJ7H" />
<embed src="banner.swf" fashvars = " flashvars" value= "urlcode=http://testsite.com?s38HbdJ7H" />

Then you can use the generic urlcode variable inside of the flash file if needed. You can take this to the next level and set urlcode = "variable" which is a variable pulled from somewhere on the page or the form they use to sign up for the banner. Make sense?

Also, the location of the banner in the embed source can have query strings it and be dynamic well. (aka: banner.swf could be banner.swf?h7yshdgw8sgfr) something to think about.

Do either of these things help spark ideas?
