Re: FLASH: Variables From A Database

[Robbert - Jan]

Well, you'll already know how to get data out of the database using ASP.

 you know only have to write it down to the page in a way Flash is able to

read it.

so use "response.write" to write all the records down in an array, or just

the records you want.

but make sure you write it down in standard CGI output which looks like

&var1=value1&var2=value2&var3=value3 etc.


now add an action to flash to load variables into location, specify the

location of your ASP page

and the level where you want them, probably this will be level 0


make textarea's or other variables with the same names as you wrote them

down to your asp page

and your ready to get further in your experiment.
