Re: FLASH: Personalizing Once Again Clarification

[Jonathan Rose]

OK, sorry about the lack of details, here goes again. The form (created in

Flash) would be housed in an HTML document (form.html for example) with some

kind of submit button. On submission (Mouse Event: onPress) would launch a new

window with a new HTML document that would contain the quiz. Only the first

screen of the quiz has to contain the user name.  I'm looking for the easiest

way to do this, so if the form needs to be created in Flash within the same

overall movie as the quiz, then that is acceptable. We are running ColdFusion

over here, however that is not my area of expertise so I'd like to stay away

from having to pass the form value to the database and then back to the Flash

movie. Thanks again!
