a few questions!

ok here's my goal, I wnat to send a request to my servlet, for a list of two rows in a db, say a document id and title,
q1. I want to put the response in a var, I assume this is posible...
var returnStr = "";
loadVariables ("http://localhost/servlet/flashDBServlet?command=doTitles", returnStr, "GET");
q2. once that happens, I split the returnStr into two strings delimited by comma, and split those into two arrays, then I want to dup a movie clip that has a button, and a dyna-text field, can I put the array values into the text fields?

the goal is to give the user a list of doc titles in the db, and a button to retrieve the contents with, and then send them to a frame to start editing

thanks

huh... it's not easy to explain whole thing, but you can check my info on connectivity between flash and CGI (perl in my case)...

it might help you to understand how to make connection... if not, paste more info so i can see what exactly you want to achieve...

hope it helps...

I think I understand, rather than asigning the response to a target, I say myVar = "[GET|POST]" ok, thats cool, would you just look at this script for me?
var ids = new Array();
var titles = new Array();
var returnStr = "";
var
loadVariables ("http://localhost/servlet/flashDBServlet?command=doTitles", "", returnStr=GET);

var retArr = returnStr.split('|');// first delim
var idStr = retArr[0];
var titleStr = retArr[1];
ids = idStr.split(',');
titles = titleStr.split(',');
for (var i = 0; i<titles.length; i++) {
var name = "movEditBtn"+i;
duplicateMovieClip (_root.movEditBtn, name, i+1);
setProperty (name, _x, _root.movEditBtn._x+(_root.movEditBtn._height*i+1) );
setProperty (name, _y, _root.movEditBtn._y);
_root.name.docTitle = titles[i];
}
