Access flashvars in preloader in flex?

I want to access some flashvars in my preloader to a Flex application. How is this possible?

From stackoverflow

• Try the loaderInfo.parameters attribute of the preloader.

• From the preloader, you should be able to access the flashvars indirectly through the SystemManager as follows:

  var systemManager:SystemManager = parent.parent as SystemManager;
  var params:Object = LoaderInfo(systemManager.loaderInfo).parameters;
  

  David Hanak : I think the loaderInfo attribute of all sprites in the display tree point to the same LoaderInfo instance, so there is no need to dig up the system manager. But I could be wrong.

• I have accessed the flashvars using loaderinfo from the root of my preloader-sprite.

  var flashvars:Object = root.loaderInfo.parameters;

  The tricky part was to know when the root wasn't null. But I found a blogpost:

  David Hanak : root.loaderInfo is the same as loaderInfo, when root is not null, see my comment to Raul's answer.
