Vipin,

   Did you try setting login.asp to just one line: 

<% response.write("Username is " + Server.URLEncode("username")) %>

to check and see what's being sent? (I've found this to be a useful way

to see what Flash is sending). I assume since you didn't include a Set

Variables in your code above that you're using a text field to contain

the data you want to pass (in which case of course the name of the text

field has to be exactly the same, case and all, as the database field

name you're checking it against.  Alternately, you can do an explicit

  Set Variables: "username" = textfieldname, or 

  Set Variables: "username" = "actualusername" 

before the GetURL statement to pass variable username.  If you want any

more help, you could post a link to the asp file and/or fla file for us

to look at.


Regards,

Helen
