Re: FLASH: making an Application Service Provider front end in Flash w/ Citrix

[Gregg Caines]

What is the extension on those files?  It definitely doesn't sound

like ASP... It looks a bit like cold fusion, but that's from someone

who knows very little about CF...

Either way, if you can pass the variables to an HTML file,

you can pass them to Flash.  You can use the query string method

or the load variables method.


Check out:

http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/set_variables.htm


If you use the query string method, your variables will load only

once per viewing, but the load variables method can load them again

and again, updating them constantly.  I usually find the querystring

method is sufficient in most cases, but you'll have to look at your

requirements.
