Re: FLASH: Does send variables with Load Movie work?

[Jon Wadelton ( Creative Factory )]

Hi Everyone,


I can't seem to get sending variables with Flash 4 working when using

LoadMovie.  I am trying to use a URL which uses a CGI program to generate a

swf file

as its output as the argument to LoadMovie.  That works OK and Flash loads

in the new movie, no worries.  But when I have the "Variables : Send using

GET" option enabled for Load Movie it does not send any variables ( I am

sure of this because when I look in the server log the request URL is still

the same it doesn't have any ?myvarible=blah etc attached to the end of the

URL ).


The movie just has one frame,  with actions like this;


    Set Variable: "test" = "something"

    Trace (Eval ("test"))   <--   there defiantly is a variable set because

it can be traced.

    Load Movie ("http://myserver/genswf.cgi", 1, vars=GET)


I have tested from IE 5 and Netscape 4


If can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Jon.
