capturing and submitting time from a dynamic text field

[sle2002]

Hello!

I have a timer displaying time in a dynamic text field, I then have a button which makes the timer stop with the intent of capturing that time - that works fine. I would now like to capture the time in that dynamic text field and submit it to a webpage for a highscore scoreboard. Does anyone know how to submit data from a dynamic text field?


thanks!!!

Where are you going to store the data?

On a separate web page.

You cannot store data on a web page.
The data will have to be stored in a database or in a flat file on your server in order to be retrieved and displayed in a web page.

How do I send the data out of flash? Do I use a geturl and attach the data using that somehow?

I would use 'LoadVars' to call a server side script, as you would want the high score table loaded at the start of the Flash animation. This same 'LoadVars' statement would be used to set the high score table, via arguments, from within the same server side script.
