Re: FLASH: GET/POST differences

[Helen Triolo]

Dave,


A POST requires a separate HTTP transaction (GET doesn't) so may be

slower to pass variables and get them back. I don't have a mac to test

on, but are you checking to make sure the last variable you requested

has been passed back before using the vars?  I guess you already know to

do this (especially Robert), but if not, add this after the load vars

frame.


frame after load vars (label=Loading):

If (last-var-to-be-passed-back ne "")

      Go to and Play ("restofmovie")

End If


next frame:

Go to and Play ("Loading")


next frame (label=restofmovie):

etc etc


Regards,

Helen
