Reading Vars generated by server side application

[ozwest]

First of all, I am a complete newbie to Flash!

I generate variables through a server side application which normally would be displayed either as a part of a form or in tables.

Now this variables should be read by Flash (that's the problem here) and after that certain action is taken.

If I can easily assign this variables to forms using f.e. <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="fieldname" VALUE="&[valueToAssign]"> how to I get Flash to read that "valueToAssign" variable?

Does this make sense to you? Any help would be very much appreciated!

Have you tryed the Actionscriptin section ?

Surely you can do it without ActionScript GmF?

In the web page, find the line of the <object> tag that specifies the path of the movie file. Once found, do this:

... src="MyMovie.swf?flashVar=&[valueToAssign]" ....

Once the flash movie has loaded, it will have a variable named "flashVar" that holds the value of your variable "valueToAssign".

Good luck!
