Javascript printing a variable

Question

I want to print a variable auth in the flashplayer.

For example:

var auth = x1c0de;

mplayer("content").setup({
  playlist: [{
    sources: [{
      file: 'http://dnswebsite.tld/appz?UserSign="I WANT MY auth VAR HERE"/playpath',
    }]
  }],
});

Is x1c0de supposed to be a string? Search for "string concatenation". — Ram

file: 'http://dnswebsite.tld/appz?UserSign="' + auth + '"/playpath'

Is this what you're looking for ?

I'm confused by the simplicity of this... I must have missed something.

EDIT:

This is the snippet you gave me in your comment:

$.ajax({
    url: your_url,
    type: 'GET',
    success: function (res) {
        var text = res.responseText;
        var auth = text.match("BEGIN(.*)/END");
    }
});
mplayer("content").setup({playlist: [{sources: [{file: 'http://dnswebsite.tld/appz?UserSign="I WANT MY auth VAR HERE"/playpath'}]}]});

Your problem is that your variable auth is stucked inside the scope of your success callback function. This should solve the problem:

var auth;
$.ajax({
    url: your_url,
    type: 'GET',
    success: function (res) {
        var text = res.responseText;
        auth = text.match("BEGIN(.*)/END");
    }
});
mplayer("content").setup({playlist: [{sources: [{file: 'http://dnswebsite.tld/appz?UserSign="' + auth + '"/playpath'}]}]});
