Re: FLASH: Form mail with Flash

[Helen Triolo]

Two things you could try:


1) Don't go straight to the frame where you check the variable returned

from Perl.  Instead, stick in a loop to wait for command ne "" before

proceeding.  Then go to frame "Sending".


2) Change the loadvariables to a geturl temporarily, which will cause

the Perl script to dump to the browser instead of returning the value to

Flash.  That way you can check and see what the contents of "command"

are in the browser window.  When that's correct, change the getURL back

to a Loadvarsnum statement to return the value to Flash instead.


Regards,

Helen
