Re: FLASH: Passing variables from Flash

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Lee,


Best thing I found is to create an empty MC that contains only action

scripts.


The you set variables inside that MC and call the CGI from within that MC.

that way you only send the variables that you have put there.


I usually put my calling MC into a loop if I am expecting return variables

until a known return variable appears, then the MC sends itself to another

frame where I have an actionscript that handles the results.


Nice thing about this separate MovieClip is that you can clear all variables

within by going to a frame on the timeline where that MC doesnt appear on

stage.


Hope this is clear enough.


Robert
