Re: FLASH: waiting for LOAD VARIABLE results

[Henri Cujass]

Hi,


thank's a lot to Helen and Branden.


The good news at first - it's working fine and a have the good feeling to

control the load  process now.


My solution is similar to Branden's.

The reason for my problem was that I don't say "goto and play"  and loose the

control what the movie do after the input


My finaly solution is to use 3 frames (1-3 and a frame for the procedure

definition:

0. Frame (Procedure : check_result)

comment: case construct to do the things if the result come-back from database

If ("result" = 0)

  goto result_action_0 and play

else if ("result" = 1 )

  goto result_action_1

end if


1. Frame

load variable (.....)

comment : set the control variable "result" to the wait value

set variable: "result" = 99

goto start_loop and play


2. Frame (start_loop)

call ("check_result")


3. Frame

goto start_loop and play



For common interest. I call a php4 script wich get the variable take a Informix

7.3x database request and send the result to the movie.

I love this very fast solution.
