args not working for loadscene

I'm trying to pass variables to an action. But when using a variable for the loadscene I just get "null" as error.

This is the action:

Code

<action name="startVideo" scope="local" args="var1,var2">set(layer[video].visible,true);set(layer[video].onvideoplay, eventstarter(); loadscene(get(var2), null, MERGE|KEEPPLUGINS));layer[video].playvideo(get(var1));</action>

And this is the calling:

Code

onclick="startVideo(pano-images/test.mp4, Pano_01);"

When using trace the variable is correctly printed in the console, and the first variable for the video url is also working. Just not the loadscene.

your var2 is not defined when your onvideoplay is called
you need to write its content into the onvideoplay call :

calc(layer[video].onvideoplay, 'eventstarter();loadscene(' + var2 + ', null, MERGE|KEEPPLUGINS)');

Thx for the explanation.
I dont really get why its this way, but as long as it works.

inside startVideo() you create a new action layer[video].onvideoplay
which is called later, when the video starts to play

onvideoplay() is not called with your arguments var1 and var2 from startVideo()
so var2 is undefined / null at that point

so in startVideo you create onvideoplay with the contents of var2 not with "var2"
you can add trace(layer[video].onvideoplay); atfter creating it to check how it works
