Re: FLASH: Building a Form with ASP and MacroMedia Flash 4

[John Croteau]

Hi all,


> http://www.asptoday.com/articles/19991001.htm

Anyone trying to communicate between Flash and a server side page (in

this case ASP) might want to check this article out.


Note the following sends data back to Flash in the standard

variable/value pairs format.


response.write("knownAs="+Server.URLEncode(KnownAs))

response.write("&surname="+Server.URLEncode(Surname))


The Flash variables are knownAs and surName.

The values are from server side variables (KnownAs and Surname). 

The values are URL Encoded and added to the Flash variables concatenated

with the + sign. Note, the second variable pair has the ampersand (&)

needed to combine additional variable pairs to the first variable pair.


If an application does not provide URL encoded data in the format 

variable1=value1&variable2=value2&variable3=value3 then you must convert

it so Flash 4 will be able to assign the data as variables.


Flash also sends data out as variable pairs but you might have to modify

those pairs in Flash or on the server side page to match the formatting

of the server side page or the application it interfaces with.
