RE: FLASH: Detecting Variable from CGI

[Gareth Vaughan]

So if you put a text box up, check the 'text field' box on the right hand

toolbar and in the 'variable' box on the propeties for the text box put

result.

When you serve the exported movie the value of result should popup in the

text box if flash has recieved it.
