Topic: Local Widgets - passing variables from profile.xml?

I discovered this in an earlier thread:

http://wiki.chumby.com/mediawiki/index. … _a_channel

This works GREAT!

I have a question, however, seeing as I'm not a flash or xml person -

Can I pass parameters to the .swf widget from this profile.xml file?

I'm working on a webcam widget, and think it would be cool to just have a variable in the xml code to change the flash image.

Thanks

Re: Local Widgets - passing variables from profile.xml?

I've edited the wiki entry to show how to add parameters to be sent to the widget.

For each name/value pair, a property is put on the root timeline - and the values are always strings.
