Re: Re: FLASH: CGI removes Flash File

[Sven Haiges]

I am doing so.


But: I have a Flash File with an Form. Magazine members can input data

which is sent to a cgi and this cgi updates an text file. The text file is used

for another movie.


I want the cgi to send a "ok" back to the first flash movie, where one of

your team members has entered date to show a "ok, text file updated"

message. I would like to do a loop until the variable "ok" is set to "true" and

then move the movie to the "ok, text file updated" section.


But, as stated, the cgi output displays a new page but i want this output

to stay in the flash file and then work with the variable (ok) in this file.


thanx,

sven
