| capabilities.serverString Property | Flash 6 |
| all Capabilities object property values, as a string of URL-encoded variables | read/write |
The string serverString property contains a list of URL-encoded variable names and values corresponding to the property names and values of the Capabilities object.
For example, on my system, the value of serverString is:
A=t&MP3=t&AE=t&VE=t&ACC=f&DEB=t&V=WIN%206%2C0%2C21%2C0&M=Macromedia Windows& R=1600x1200&DP=72&COL=color&AR=1.0&I=point&OS=Windows XP&L=en
To determine the variable name and value used for each property, see the entry for that property. The serverString property is provided as a convenience to the developer who wishes to retrieve assets from the server, based on the client-side Player specifications. The string can be used when loading external XML, variables, or even other movies. For example, a simple movie, loadStub.swf, could be used as a loading module for subsequent content. The loadStub.swf movie should issue a loadMovie( ) command to a server script and append the serverString property value to a GET request:
content_mc.loadMovie("content.swf?" + System.capabilities.serverString);
The server would then respond by sending the appropriate movie for the client-side environment.
Though the properties of the Capabilities object are writable, custom property assignments are not reflected in the value of serverString.
