Helen,
First of all thanks for responding to my call for help.
Ok.. i did exactly what you told me to do. I created a logintest.asp file
just to check what my flash was passing to the ASP file.
The result was awkward. It showed that flash was passing not the variable
value but just the variable name. Now how did that happen.
I even tried to set variable from within flash before the "get url" just to
make sure that the variable was indeed being sent.. I even checked in the
next frame of my flash file to see if the variables were exactly what i'm
sending and flash displayed my variables correctly.
Here is my complete html code
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
<%@LANGUAGE=VBScript%>
<% Response.Buffer = TRUE %>
<html><head><title>PCTrack Asset Management Login</title>
<link REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css" HREF="styles/index.css">
</script></head>
<body style="BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(Images/blueBack.GIF); BACKGROUND-REPEAT:
repeat-y">
<form action="login.asp" method="post" name="frmLogin">
<table border="0" cellPadding="0" cellSpacing="0" class="loginTable"
style="width: 261px; height: 107px">

</form>

and here is my logintest.asp script

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
