has anyone sent variables from an MX movie to an asp page???

[gilesb]

Hey all,

am having soooo much trouble with this.......

has anyone managed to do this? - send variables to an asp page with either the loadVariables command or the loadVars object.

gSOLO_01 has done it using cold fusion and MX, but i have not got cold Fusion - wondered if anyone else was having this problem.... moderators???

I just cannot get it to work in Flash MX

???????

thanks in adnace

When you use the XMLObj.SendandLoad to the asp page all the _root variables are send in the method you've specified. All you need to do is use the asp xml obj, and work through.

Set myXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
myXML.Load(Request)

I've found this method to be the best and the fastest, when it comes to interacting with ASP.

Hope it helps

Matheu?

did you mean within the asp page itself??

why would i need to do this? - the code works fine in Flash 5 interacting with asp, but loadVariables dont seem to send anything in Flash MX

Send variables should works fine in MX for both LoadVariables and XML. The only issue I have found is that one of the XML methods (.load()) sends variables using GET when it should use POST.

If you post the FLA, we can see if there is anything syntactical that could be an issue.

[gilesb]

so the new loadVars object which is built similarly to the XML object, only uses "GET" when using the "load" method. Is this the default or can you not specify using "POST" as an argument?

this would kill my project as i need alot more variable length than the "GET" method would allow

if you give me your email i will mail you a sample of the code from work on Monday

many thanks for the offer of help

I don't think I said that!

It ALL works. Trust me. Put up the FLA and I guarantee the send can be fixed.

u can send variables to flash simply by....

following command will pass all the variables in "rsb" movie clip to "add.asp" file

on (release){
loadVariables("add.asp", "_root.rsb", "GET");
}

OR the following method will pass all the variables in "level 0" to "add.asp" file using get method.

on (release){
loadVariablesNum("add.asp", 0, "GET");
}


have recently done a project, heavy integration of ASP and Flash MX

thanks Aqeel

i am sure i have tried all possibilities, but knowing that someone is having success with loadVariables in MX is reassuring.

My project is rather large so ther eis a possibility of variable duplication BUT i dont think so

i will try your suggestion on Monday when i am back into work

thanks once again

and thank you to all who have helped out in this post ( and the other 3 i posted to get opinions elsewhere on flashkit.... hell... thanks to flashkit too!!!!!!!)
