flashvars doc attribute for Player api.

[Roshan Kedar]

I am using player api for my application. To embed slides there i need to specify "doc" attribute for flashvars like this " doc : "thirst-upload-800x600-1215534320518707-8" ". Where I can found the path of presentation. I mean its easy for me to find it but the method is not suitable for end user to use my application.

Hi Roshan

As we don't expect this to be used by end users directly, it is not exposed in a manner that you want. So you'll probably fall back to the options you are already using.

Sorry, but this is far from an answer that is helpful.

You can get the embed code from the get_slideshow API endpoint, then the swf object will be properly populated http://www.slideshare.net/developers/documentation#get_slideshow

But if you want to use the parameters such it is used in the demo, I couldn't find a proper way.

One thing I I manage to do is to magically find the doc argument from the thumbnail or slide_image_baseurl when using the oEmbed and the full path of the presentation. 

For example, for the presentation http://www.slideshare.net/Giuliano84/from-an-idea-to-a-startup

I can call the oEmbeded URL  http://www.slideshare.net/api/oembed/2?url=http://www.slideshare.net/Giuliano84/from-an-idea-to-a-startup&format=json

And the result would have "thumbnail":"//cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/fromideatostartup-121203125403-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?1354779580 and "slide_image_baseurl":"//image.slidesharecdn.com/fromideatostartup-121203125403-phpapp01/95/slide-"

The value I am supposed to use as the doc parameter is right there in the middle of the string: "fromideatostartup-121203125403-phpapp01".

A mess, I know...
