RE: FLASH: passing variables

[vipin kanwar]

Hi Laura,


Thanks for your help.


One bit of clarification though..


Are you setting these variables from iside flash just before the "get url"

function??


Set Variable: "Test" = "/:Location" & moniker

Set Variable: "TestNumber" = (Eval(Test))


In my case, I'm trying to send these variables from a text box.. which is

part of the login form created in Flash.


I'm sending a UserID and Password for ASP to check against a Database Table.

To test it, I created a one line ASP script that would display what

variables are getting passed to it by Flash.


How can i pass a variable that does not exist on my form? In my case.. i

have two text boxes.. one is UserID and the other is Password. These two

variables should be passed on to my Login.asp file.


Regards

Vipin Kanwar

Hi Vipin,

Oh I had this problem too... well nothing to do with asp, but just in Flash.

I set a variable and then tried to use it and Flash was reading the variable

name, not the value of the variable. I ended up setting another variable

that evaluates the first variable to get it to read the number I wanted. So

my code looks like this:


Set Variable: "Test" = "/:Location" & moniker

Set Variable: "TestNumber" = (Eval(Test))


and when I want to use the value of test, I use the variable TestNumber.

Sounds kinda dumb, but it works :) Someone who understands what they're

doing (I can't explain *why* that's necessary at all :) may know a better

way, and if you find out, I'd appreciate knowing too. But this does work if

you can't think of a better way :)
