Re: [flasher] Flash Java interaction

[Gregg Caines]

Is your applet on another page, or the same page?  Are you 

using frames?


It seems to me that it would be easiest to send the variables 

to a new page via GET, parse them out with JavaScript, and 

pass those JavaScript variables to the applet via its parameters.


That seems like it would work, but I've never done it.  I think 

your biggest obstacle will be getting the applet to read and write 

files on the local machine.  You might know something that I 

don't, but last time I checked, applets weren't capable of this 

kind of file i/o...
