Hi, i have a guestbook that works real well but have now designed a flash form instead of the original asp form so that it looks nicer when people are signing my guestbook. Anyway I can fill out my flash form with my details but I am stuck on how to tell my ASP to get the variables passed from the flash movie and put them into the database!

I guess this could be either a flash or ASP forum question so sorry if people think it should be in the flash one!

How do I get those flash variables into ASP and my access database then?

Cheers
 
You could set up hidden form fields inside the page that has the embedded flash movie and then using javascript grab the values of specific variables inside your flash object and push them into your hidden fields. You would probably want to do this on Submit. There is also a process in flash to make an http POST or GET call, but I don't know much about it.
