RE: FLASH: ASP problems

[mbain]

What is it that the ASP does ?


Does it send variables back to the flash movie ..if it does, remember the

following ......it must send the output back in the

"variable=value&variable2=value2& etc etc...


For instance:


if you want to send the variable "name" back with the value "michael"

and "surname" with the value "bain"

then do something like this... (and i am not too great at this scripting ...but

you'll get the idea ...sorry for syntax errors, i am trying to convey the

concept)


<%

'    this variable puts them in the proper format ...tie ..."the variable name"

and  " = " and the value of the variable name and a ' '    "&" etc etc


output = ("name"&"="&name&"&"&"surname"&"="&surname)

Response.Write(output)

%>


tHIS WILL GIVE THE OUTPUT:


name=michael&surname=bain


Great ...the moment that happens, flash sees the variables ...and their values

and will be displayed here they are defined in sap.


if you wanna output like a search ..with more than one record of output you put

in a counter ....and add the counter after the variable


in pseudocode i mean output =

variableandcounter=value&variableandcounter=variable etc etc

then for the next record increment the counter by 1


the result would for example be:

name1=michael&surname1=bain&name2=john&surname2=smith&etc ....thus simmulating

ar array ...and the variables can all be displayed in flash ..... :o)



Does this help or did i just confuse the hell out of you ???????????

Subject:  RE: FLASH: ASP problems





The suggestions received have been very helpful and I was suffering from the

common misconception that "Load Variables" only got variables from a file.

I'm close to getting this to work, but still no cigar.


I'm not sure what level I should specify in the location.  I have tried 0,

1, and "/."  I don't know what "/" does, but I saw it in one of the

examples.  My action is as follows...


On (Release)

  Load Variables ("survey.asp",0,vars=POST)

  Go to and Stop ("Thank you")

End On


I've checked and re-checked all the variables and made sure they are

correctly spelled and that the capitalization matches and I've tested my

.asp script to make sure it works with an HTML form.  Still not working.


A couple of questions...


1. Does it matter if I have any HTML attached to my ASP script?  To test

using HTML I have been inserting HTML after the script in order to see

results.


2.  What does "/" mean in the location level?


3.  What else should I look for to figure out why this isn't working?


Many thanks,


Greg
