Sending form information to CGI script

[robtheflasher]

I am using Flash MX 2004, I am created a web site completely in flash and i have a form I wish to send to a CGI script. I have this working in HTML. How do I send the information to the cgi? Is there a way to use the html form code?

hi,

It's similar.
The CGI script expects variables with predifened names.
In HTML, for example, these names are the names of text fields.

In Flash, you use the LoadVars Class to send/send and load the variables.
For example:

code:

---

my_lv = new LoadVars();

my_lv.firstName = "nuno";

my_lv.lastName = "mira";

my_lv.send("myScript.cgi");

---

Instead of send(), you may use sendAndLoad(), in case the script outputs anything.

In this case, you're sending two variables with the names: firstName and lastName.

For more details read loading variables.
