Subject: Re: FLASH: getting variables from ASP
From: Vipin Kanwar
Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 05:52:58 GMT

Hi again,

Helen, the page code that i sent earlier was to show you how the html version
was done.

I have to recreate the whole application using flash.

Luckily, i found out that by modifying the "embed" and "object" tag in the
html document that hosts the flash file.. i can access the variables at load
time.

for instance .. i modified my html file that hosts the flash movie to.....

<embed src="../flash/home2.swf?Accessdesc=<%=Session("AccessDesc")%>"
quality="high" ..... etc..etc..

and the object code too:-

<param name="movie"
value="../flash/home2.swf?AccessDesc=<%=Session("AccessDesc")%>">


now, this worked just fine with my file.. and the variable (in this case
AccessDesc) was passed onto my movie.

But i guess this is not the best way to do it if i have many variables to be
passed.. which i do need later on in my web application. In that case.. i
guess i shall need to modify my code as per what you suggested.

right?!

regards
vipin kanwar
