ASP/MX 2004 newsfeed headache

[SteveHigh]

Hello

I am able to read the news of my choice in a normal browser using ASP. I would like to use this same script to read the same news in a Flash (MX 2004) movie.

I would like to ask from the beginning: do I need to use sendAndLoad? I can see that Flash needs to 'load' the news into the dynamic text area I have created, but it does not need to send anything anywhere, does it?

If it does not need to 'send', only to 'load', can I just use loadvariables ("myNews.asp", 0, "get") or something like that?

The tricky part of this post concerns how I pass the ASP script to Flash. My ASP script, which does the news formatting ends as follows:

Code:

<%
Response.Write(Application("rss-html"))
%>

As I say, this script works in a normal browser.

As I understand Flash, it usually needs ASP to pass it the value contained in this:

Response.Write(Application("rss-html"))

or possibly:

Response.Write "&" & Server.URLEncode(Application("rss-html"))

There is a problem, however, in that I understand the Flash compiler does not like hyphens (as in rss-html).

Using my ASP script, which would be the best way to solving this problem?

Thanks

Steve

The best to start for you: do the loading and saving tutorials.
If you understand the basics, youre questions will all be answered.
It is not complicated, but forget using the same ASP-Procedure, you are using for html display.
You have to do some things different.
sendAndLoad is the right direction.
