FLASH: return vars from Perl to Flash

[Geoff Choo]

Hi,


Here's a bit of Perl script that will take a text string and URLencode the 

spaces, control and punctuation characters.


This code fragment assumes that you have a field variable named "list" in 

our flash movie.


$string = "This is the string to encode";


# We URL encode the text string here #

$string =~ s/(\W)/sprintf("%%%x", ord($1))/eg;


print "Content-type: text/text\n\n";

print "list=$string";


If you need a bit more help with the perl script or have any questions, 

don't hesitate to get back to me.


cheers, geoff
