RE: FLASH: HELP . . . Need ASP to Launch Window with Variables

[James Jack]

Hi Folks . . been workin on this for 12 hours straight,  and I cannot,

for the life of me, solve this one!


I need my simple ASP page to launch a window with varables similar to

what we always do when we launch windows with javascript from flash . .

specifically specifying size and positioning . . . . yadda yadda.


Here's the Application for which I need it:


Basically the users enter their address & zip code in flash and hits

"get directions".  This calls an asp page that looks at the variables in

flash and then exercises a string of code pointed toward yahoo's map and

directions.

With the code Im using now, a Yahoo window indeed opens up and even with

the right directions to the predetermined location if you can believe

that!  But, sadly, it opens the window in a 'half hazard' when I need it

rather, to open with specific positioning and size . . . yadda yadda.


my asp code is simple, looks like this:


<% 


newaddr = Request.QueryString("newaddr")

newcsz = Request.QueryString("newcsz")


Response.Redirect

("http://maps.yahoo.com/py/ddResults.py?Pyt=Tmap&doit=1&newname=&newdesc

=&newaddr=" & newaddr & "&newcsz=" & newcsz &

"&newtaddr=2223+9th+Ave.&newtcsz=Seattle%2C+WA+98121&Get%A0Directions=Ge

t+Directions")


%>


Im just doing a get URL on this asp page from flash.


Here's the problem with it though: "Response.Direct" will not allow me

to position the opening window like we usually do in window.open with

javascripts.  =(


So . . . what do I do . . could I be sending these two varables (street

and zip) from flash in a long string to a Javascript that positions the

window right for me and avoid asp all together?  If so, how in the heck

. . Ive tried everything!   OR, is there just some way to do this within

the asp like I originally planned?  Am I doing this all the hard way?


Sure would appreciate any pointers if someone out there knows the answer

to this one.  Thanx a million.
