Re: FLASH: DIY ecard

[avex]

HI...


I am making a generator/flash ecard.......

but really it does what you need...


to get variables into flash.....

use something like

loadVariablesNum ("file.txt", 0, "GET");


you should also add a random function to ensure flash doesn't cache it

(thanks muzak!)

so it should be

randomVar = random(10000);

loadVariablesNum ("file.txt", 0, "GET");


the file.txt file should be a file created by your perl script that is in

standard url mime format....


like

var1=dog&var2=cow&var3=chicken


To get the variables out of flash use

geturl...


you can assign it to a button and so something like:

on (release) {

    getURL ("flash.pl", "", "POST");

}


where flash.pl is your pearl script that will take the variables and add it

to a database or whatever....


that should pretty much do it.....


if you need any other help drop me a line.....
