Capture Output?

[bluedawg65]

I am not sure even what to call this but if I have set a text field value and other various values with functions in AS3 to where I can trace the values in the output panel... How do I then capture that data to be sent to fields in a shopping cart? Make sense?

No.

You've got the data in some text fields. You could use the text property of those textfields wherever you're doing your shopping cart stuff. But I would hope that you actually have some variables with that data and the text fields only reflect those variables rather than being the data storage themselves.

I don't quite understand... I havn't built it yet. I'm just trying to understand how you send information out of Flash. Maybe it's like using FlashVars?

Oh, I thought the question was about accessing data you've got in text fields somewhere.

Are you using some 3rd party shopping cart package? Does it have an AS3 api? If so, use that. Otherwise, you may need to use a URLLoader and URLVariables to post values to an HTTP resource on your server. But really, there are a lot of different ways that flash can communicate with a server, so you need to narrow it down before we can give you meaningful advice.

I see... that is very helpful. I don't even have the project yet so I have time to look into AS3 API and such and then hopefully I'll know better what I am asking. Thanks!
