I searched around the forums but couldn't find an answer to this...

Is there any way to pass in variables to the Application Profile and save them?

E.G.

 http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=398806509&myvar=100

Any way to save the value of myvar in this case?

Thanks

 I don't think you have any imperative control over the applications profile page, which means you can't write code behind or even muck with client-side code.  It's pretty much a black box, much like your own profile page is.  That being said, there may be a way to accomplish what you need.  What exactly are you trying to convey when you pass a variable to the application profile page and how is that relavant to your application?  Maybe another pattern or solution can still get you what you want.

 Ok, I figured out how to pass in the data with a cookie, but now I need to save it--I'm using the following code to get/set some instance data, but it doesn't seem to be working... can somebody help?

function updateEmbed(val)
{
    if (opensocial.Person.isOwner())
    {
        var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
        req.add(req.newUpdateInstanceAppDataRequest("embedtxt", val),"data");
        req.send(onDataSaved); //I can't see this request go through in TamperData

    }
    
}
function onDataSaved(){alert("Data Saved");//This never pops up}

function loadData() {
  var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
  req.add(req.newFetchInstanceAppDataRequest("embedtxt"),"data");
  req.send(onDataLoaded);
};

function onDataLoaded(returnData)
{
 

    var dataObj = returnData.get("data");

if (dataObj != undefined)
    {
        if (!dataObj.hadError())
        {
            var val = dataObj.getData()["embedtxt"];
            alert(val);
        }
    }

}

help!
