RE: FLASH: cookies and variables

[Branden Hall]

Okay, to get you guys started on the right track... check out

www.moock.org/webdesign/flash4

and look at the FScommands section. You can get all sorts of good info from

there, not to mention links to even more good info. Once you have gotten

started, if you have any other questions, ask away, I have done quite a bit

of interaction between Flash and JS.

Subject: FLASH: cookies and variables



To jump in on Niklas' bandwagon - I too am desperately trying to make

use of simple data contained in a cookie to update a text field in F4

(without Generator).

Scenario:

Textfield named empName

Cookie named empNum (set for testing purposes in the same html page as

the code for the movie but will eventually be set by a cgi script on the

server)


I have tried using frame actions to set variable, load variable, get URL

- which one, what syntax?


All I want to do is pick up the contents from the cookie (a number) and

pass that to the text field. I have tried everywhichwaybutloose,

contacted Tech Support, visited many interesting and educational sites,

and even resorted to RTFM.


Can any of the wise ones throw some light on this? Can I update a field

with info from a cookie? Using which action? Should I use JavaScript

variables instead?


Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
