Wildfire Configuration

Wildfire uses a configuration object to set its parameters. Every parameter has a default value which can be overridden by setting its value in the configuration object.

Below is an example of creating a configuration object named "conf" and setting one parameter (the defaultContent parameter):

// You may use JSON format to initialize the object with the supported parameters:
 
var conf = {
    defaultContent: "POST CONTENT"
}

mcWF['ModuleID']='PostModule1';        // passing the module id to wildfire
var conf=_root[mcWF['ModuleID']]={};     // initializing the configuration object

conf['defaultContent']= 'POST CONTENT';

var ModuleID:String='PostModule1';// pass the module id to Wildfire
var conf:Object = { };// initialize the configuration object

conf['defaultContent']= 'POST CONTENT';

public var conf:Object = { };  

conf['defaultContent']= 'POST CONTENT';

Please refer to the Configuration Parameters page in the API Reference, for a full reference of the various parameters supported by Wildfire.

If you need to change the Wildfire configuration after it was first drawn you can do so at any time by calling Wildfire.divWildfirePost.applyConfig() with the appropriate configuration object (see the Wildfire.divWildfirePost.applyConfig() in the API Reference for a detailed syntax of this function).
