Subject: RE: FLASH: Saving Variables into Database

If I create an input form in Flash then use the Load Variable funtion to
send the field data to a ColdFusion page to to a database insert (see
previous message below), how can I do this securely using https.

My thought was that if I launch the html page which fires off the swf file
securely using https then the data being sent to Cold Fusion will get there
secure.

Example https://www.mysite.com/launchswffile.html

the launchswffile.html page is the page which launches my flash input from
which I want to be secure when sending the form data to my coldfusion insert
page.

Will this work ??

Action of your submit button in Flash:

Load Variables ("http://www.yoururl.com/insert.cfm", 0, vars=GET)

Your insert Coldfusion page (insertpage.cfm)

<cfquery name="queryname" datasource="datasource" dbtype="ODBC">
INSERT INTO table(fieldname1, fieldname2)
VALUES ('#URL.fieldname1#', '#URL.fieldname2#')
</cfquery>

You can pass a variable back to the flashmovie by adding:

&sent=done

You can check this in your movie, for example: if sent=done then....

Hope this helps.
