RE: FLASH: saving variables to text???

[Branden Hall]

Well, I take it you have the variable set up as a session variable... if

that is the case then all you have to do is make the page that delivers the

SWF a CFML page and throw on the end of the URL for the SWF

?name=<cfoutput>#namevar#</cfoutput>

Thats it! No need for anything inside flash!

I have a question about this too,

What is the correct syntax for retreiving data from ColdFusion? For

example, a name variable, which the viewer enters at the beginning of

the html site, which is processed by ColdFusion. Then, at the end of the

site, there is an .swf animation which I would like to have

personalized. To use the GetVariable for that, how would I do that to

get the name from ColdFusion. Does anyone know? Please?

Thanks!
