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.
Usage
Though the properties of the Capabilities object are writable, custom property assignments
are not reflected in the value of
serverString.
