Re: FLASH: Trouble using POST or GET in Projector

[Gregg Caines]

I've never tried sending variables from a projector, so

I can neither deny nor confirm your findings, but you

could always create the URL with the querystring as a

string in Flash and add the variables you wish to add

by concatenating them to the URL string.  I know you 

said that your URL strings are still fairly long, but maybe

you can shorten the variable names slightly to get as 

much out of it as possible. 


Sorry, I know this is a work-around and not a solution, 

but I've never seen that problem before.
