Re: FLASH: Re: Flash to Cold Fusion

[Jason White]

Sal,


That's what  you want to use then...If you use getURL or whatver it

is, it will take you to a new page (HTML)...Submitting using 'load

variables into location' will submit to your script/application.  I'm

not a CF user, but I know some folks who have done it.  Mine has all

been done with Perl/CGI scripts.  Just make sure that your CF app

sends back url-formencoded data (var=value&var2=value2 etc.) to Flash

so Flash can load variables and do something with it.

I do not want to take my users to a new page. I want to keep them in

Flash and transact variables back and forth between your Cold Fusion

server and a Flash interface. Would the 'Load variables into location'

still work?
