RE: [flasher] High Score

[Paul Willoughby]

If you're on a server that supports ASP this might help. It's a VBscript

which will write Flash variables to a text file in name/value pairs that you

can then reload into Flash. It's based on tutorials I've seen at

ww.4guysfromrolla.com on the File System Object and Dan Waters articles on

integrating Flash and ASP at www.asp101.com, so I'd visit them if you want

to find out more about how it works:


<%

'define the iomode

Const fsoForWriting = 2


'create a File System Object

Dim objFSO

Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")


'Opens the text file or creates one if it doesn't already exist

Dim objTextStream

Set objTextStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile((Server.MapPath("testVars.txt")),

fsoForWriting, True)


'Write the Flash variables to the text file

'note the extra &s for creating the name value pairs in the text file

objTextStream.WriteLine "pos1=" & Request.Form("pos1") & "&" & "pos2=" &

Request.Form("pos2") & "&" & "pos3=" & Request.Form("pos3") & "&" & "pos4="

& Request.Form("pos4") & "&" & "eof=1"


'Close the file and clean up

objTextStream.Close

Set objTextStream = Nothing

Set objFSO = Nothing

%>


waitaminnit! did you say 'sell'? sheesh...too late ;~)
