Stephen,


If you're using vars=POST, then Flash will automatically send whatever

variables are on the current timeline to the asp file, so you don't need

to give them as parameters in the call.  If you've defined variables

game_name, game_score and game_level in the Flash movie, then just do


 On (Release)

     Get URL ("http://www.mysite.com/myform.asp", window="_blank",

vars=POST)

 End On


and they'll be sent.  (Retrieve them with request.form, not

request.querystring in asp).


Regards,

Helen
