LoadVariablesNum IE 5.5 porblems

[heidelbaer]

On the one hand I thought this may not be the problem because it worked in Netscape.

On the other hand I again tried it with Internet Explorer and as long as the file was in the cache it worked.

But what is the easiest way to detect with flash4 if all variables are loaded?

Hi heidelbaer,

1. set var "done" to false before loadvars
2. have script send "&done=true" at the end of the response
3. once done is true, your vars are loaded.

You can even create nice animation while waiting, like here http://board.flashkit.com/board/show...hreadid=131278

Hi Paul Clarke,

I had a chance to test your movie with IE and Flash authoring software installed, and it did not seem to work.
(Cursor in text entry field stops blinking)
Next I tried the same movie uploaded to a linux/apache server (I replaced the asp by an equivalent cgi with the additional feature that it would send out random strings, to make operation more visible) and viewed it from the same system, and everything worked. I still believe that one of the ingredients of the "does not work" mix is the particular server with your asp page...

Well, I tried it all the time like you proposed but stupid as I am I did with "=" (flash4) instead of "eq"...

We have just the same problem. Has anyone got a solution aside from changing CGI or moving to another server?

In our case the problem seems to be with Win98 and IE5.5.

This turns out to be a very big problem as we thought we've finished everything already. Then this problem comes up.

Hi bigmarvin,

if you can resort to GET at all, do so...

Hello,

We found a work around to the loadvariable problem. it seems that the POST method only sends data to the server and doesn't return anything (thanks to your posts).

Well, when we attached our query directly to our http request we didn't need to POST. That is:

LoadVariables ("http://www.mousepeople.com/test.asp?id=100", _root)

This is useful when sending only a few variables and its working for us. We were able to process the query string and some data can be returned.

We appreciate though if you could test:
