RE: FLASH: Personalizing Once Again Clarification

[Jason Bouwmeester]

Jonathan,


One way to do this is to take the name entered in form.html and on the

submit, write to a .txt file in a directory with the user's name in it...

then you could open the flash page and have the flash movie load that .txt

file... only problem I can forsee with this is if 2 people access it at

EXACTLY the same time, the .txt file might update to soon. After re-reading

your e-mail though, do it all in Flash with a form and Text Fields, you can

pass that variable right within the Flash movie... I outlined some pages in

the Flash 4 Manual for more information on this. No need for ColdFusion.


HTH,

jb
