Re: FLASH: a couple of problems: help!!!

[Dorian Nisinson]

Hi Andy,

	As to your first question I don't know the answer to that one but I

find myself wondering what order you created the text fields in. That

would be the first thing I'd test in your situation. The next thing that

occurs to me is the order of layers that the fields might be on and the

third thing to explore is loading order of you text fields. As I said at

the start, I haven't tested this so these are just off the top of my

head ideas.


	For the second question the answer is no. You cannot go from Flash to a

plain text document on your server. You need a script (CGI, ASP, etc.)

to handle the data that Flash sends.


	Hope this helps.
