Exporting of data from Flash?

[Guest_imported]

I have to build a checkout page from a Flash movie which allows users to choose their items and then proceed to verify their order.

The data needs to be exported so as the order can be sent to the suppliers and the stock checked before proceeding to the C.C. billing ect.

I am wondering whether this is at all possible as I'm under the belief that Flash cannot export data outside itself other than to other .swf's. Is this true?

Many Thanks

Hi,

It is possible to export the values of Flash variables to (and import from) Server Sided Scripts (ASP/ColdFusion/etc) using the Get URL Actionscript. Use the Variables Drop-down box to select Send using POST or Send using GET.

Have a look at the Sample Pages directory in your Flash home Directory for the Chat Sample where ASP is used.

I hope this has helped you a bit. [sig]<p>Napalm 2000<br><a href=mailto:hlechler@hotmail.com>hlechler@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=

The same thing can also be use with CGI. Just send the variables using GET or POST like Napalm said or use the FSCommand and write the code to send the information.
