Flash's Send Variable option sends all the variables that exist on the

targeted timeline as standard variable/value pairs which if sent as POST

can then be extracted with a request.form command on the asp page.


The following ASOP code sets the value of aspVar equal to the variable

FlashVar received from Flash.


<%

aspVar = Request.Form("FlashVar")

%>
