asp variables from flash

[danny]

I have a pretty simple asp form where i want the initial selection to be set from a flash menu... I put this action on the button... but the variable doesn't post... I have never tried to post an asp variable from within flash, am i doing something wrong?

see.... www.dannyharmondesigns.com/3icorp/test01.html

If your Posting to a new URL or New asp script you can use something like:

on (release) {
Variable1 = "Value1";
Variable2 = "Value1";

 getURL("ThePage.asp", "POST");

}

This will post both of these variables to the ASP script - along with all the other variables contained on that level in that MC.  As long as the variable is present it will be sent.

If you want to return variable/values directly to the SWF you are posting from your would use something like this:

on (release) {
Variable1 = "Value1";
Variable2 = "Value1";

 loadVariablesNum("ThePage.asp", 0, "POST");

}

This will send those variables (and all other variables present to the ASP script) It will then read in the results after they have been processed back into the Flash Movie.  These results have to be formatted specifically like Variable1=value1&variable2=value2  etc etc.  Their can be nothing else on that page - except for that string.

If you need more help on this let us know.
