Re: FLASH: GET v POST Database Differences

[Helen Triolo]

Shona,


Make sure you are waiting for variables to be returned before trying to

do something with them.  If the last variable to be returned is lastvar,

add 2 frames after your LoadVariables that loop until lastvar ne "" (""

is the default value of an undefined variable in Flash 4; for Flash 5,

check for lastvar != null).  Some people say that POST just doesn't work

for them with Netscape, but I've never had any trouble using it with

Flash in either IE or NN (PC).


Regards,

Helen
