[Resolved] [Resolved] [Resolved] [Resolved] [Resolved] Flash MX and SOAP...?

[xylem]

Interested to see what the best way to integrate ASP.NET and FLash MX using SOAP would be...any ideas?

[FlashGuru]

For now, it would be no different to how you would do it in flash 5, assuming you already know?!? wait a few months

[xylem]

Are you referring to certain "Mexican Chip Dip"???

Cause if you are, we should talk privately, that's what I am referring to.

The best way to communicate with server-sides using flash is either using the xml object which has now being dramatically speeded up, parsing etc.... or using loadVariablesNum and movieclip.loadVariables.

Flash MX now has a LoadVars Object:

myvars=new LoadVars()
myvars.load("http://www.flashguru.co.uk/asp/tester.asp?id=dgjfsghdf")
myvars.onData=function(){
    trace(this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal()*100)
}
myvars.onLoad=function(){
    trace("variables loaded")
}

You can also use:

myvars.id="dgjfsghdf"
myvars.sendAndLoad("http://www.flashguru.co.uk/asp/tester.asp")
myvars.onData=function(){
    trace(this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal()*100)
}
myvars.onLoad=function(){
    trace("variables loaded")
}

and:

myvars.id="dgjfsghdf"
myvars.send("http://www.flashguru.co.uk/asp/tester.asp")
myvars.onData=function(){
    trace(this.getBytesLoaded()/this.getBytesTotal()*100)
}
myvars.onLoad=function(){
    trace("variables loaded")
}

So you have a few new methods, events and properties to play with and to ease the process a little.

holy cow, the news just keep getting better and better. FlashGuru, can you keep explaining more of the new objects/methods of AS? Maybe you can start a new thread with just cool new junk!? My mind is already spinning with what you've revealed so far, the mask methods, the text field methods, the loadVars object.

I want more!
