Re: FLASH: Return ASP Error Messages to Flash Movie?

[Roy Vignes]

There is a difference between RESUME and RESUME NEXT


If you think that the operation might succeed a second (or third time) you

might want to try RESUME, which will attempt the failed instruction again

(and again, and again, ...). If there's no chance of a success after a

failure, then this couldn't possibly help.


To be honest, you probably need ON ERROR GOTO errorhandler. The use of

RESUME and RESUME NEXT in the error handler allows for very versatile error

handling.


Unfortunately, that may not be a feature of VBScript yet. It may appear soon

though, since the ON ERROR RESUME appeared (relatively) recently.


You may also do better using JavaScript instead of VBScript for that

particular module. I've had no server-side Javascript experience (yet), but

Java on the server definitely has superior error handling and recovery.
