RE: FLASH: Re: Flash to Cold Fusion

[Chad Kraeft]

Thx all!


Now, does anyone know of a place where there are examples of Flash/CGI

interaction? (lots of info out there that says it works, just no specifics

that i've found yet...) I've been playing with Perl and considering the use

of PHP. (this oughta help quite a few people if the resource exists!)

Chad,


That's the whole point/beauty of this.  You can go without the

browser if you'd like.


1) You have to use the 'variables into location' and the location is

the script/app/CGI

2) Pick a level or target where you want the variable to go when it

comes back.  I typically just use 0 cuz I haven't done much loading of

movies into various levels.  Did it with a target once I believe. It's

all personal preference

3) Make sure the data comes back from the CGI (or whatever) in url

form-encoded format. (var1=value1&var2=value2)


You can have Flash sit in a while loop, or wait for user input and

store the variable(s) in the background whatever.  I once set it to do

a while until the variable came back.  Once the variable came back, it

would run through and if structure and fork accordingly.

Is it possible to run the .swf, have it pass variable out, have CGI

or

whatever process the data, then have the data sent back to the same

.swf

without it stopping?

Sal,


That's what  you want to use then...If you use getURL or whatver it

is, it will take you to a new page (HTML)...Submitting using 'load

variables into location' will submit to your script/application.

I'm

not a CF user, but I know some folks who have done it.  Mine has all

been done with Perl/CGI scripts.  Just make sure that your CF app

sends back url-formencoded data (var=value&var2=value2 etc.) to

Flash

so Flash can load variables and do something with it.
