How to load specific projects in Flock XR

Overview

You can use URL parameters in Flock XR to load:

• A new empty project
• A specific project
• A project without running it

URL parameters let you control how Flock XR behaves when a link is opened. They are added to the end of a Flock XR URL after a question mark, for example:

https://app.flockxr.com/?project=starter&autoplay=false

Multiple parameters are joined with an ampersand (&).

If no project parameter is given, Flock XR loads the last saved project from the browser.

Load a new empty project

To open Flock XR with a blank new project instead of the last saved one, use:

?project=new

For example: https://app.flockxr.com/?project=new

This is useful when sharing a link where you want the person to start fresh.

Load a specific project

You can link directly to a Flock XR project file by adding ?project= followed by the full URL of a .flock or .json file.

?project=https://example.com/myproject.flock

For example: https://app.flockxr.com/?project=https://myschoolsite.com/myproject.flock

Load the built-in starter project

To load the built-in starter project, use:

?project=starter

For example: https://app.flockxr.com/?project=starter

Load a project without running it

By default, Flock XR runs the project code as soon as it loads.

To load the project into the editor without running it, add:

?autoplay=false

The project will open in the editor ready to view or edit. You can run it manually using the Run button or Ctrl+P.

These can be combined, for example to open a shared project without running it:

https://app.flockxr.com/?project=starter&autoplay=false
