Re: FLASH: Passing a CGI variable to a GET URL - possible? {URGENT}

[Cheri Harder]

Hi, Jeff.  If I have followed this thread correctly, yes the variable called

MemberID will exist in the movie, because the cgi that called the movie,

passes it with the


"?MemberID"


parameter.  Howsomever, now that it is a variable, your "GetURL" will need

to become an expression, concatenating the known string with the unknown

variable, thus:


GetURL("http//www.xyz.com/" & MEMBERID & "/index.html")


So be sure to change the "abc" button to the "=" button & add the quotes in

there yourself.
