Flash & ASP

[exodus300]

I can send variables from flash using for example [tt]getURL (&quot;page.asp&quot;, &quot;&quot;, &quot;GET&quot;[/tt] and reference them in asp with [tt]<%= Request.QueryString(&quot;something&quot %>, but how can I get the 'query strings' into a flash file on the new page, eg. if the url is [tt]

http://www.mysite.com/a_page.asp?TestString=Hello

World[tt] how can I get Hello World into TestString (a variable in the flash movie) [similar to the Request.QueryString(&quot;TestString&quot, but in Flash]?

Do you get me?
Thanx in anticipation

Use loadVariables to access the ASP script. Thi simports the name/value pair. YOu can then manipulate or display the variable's value. For instance:

Place a dynamic text box with variable set to &quot;TestString&quot; on your stage and run this action...

loadVariables(&quot;a_page.asp&quot;,&quot;&quot;//assuming the swf and ASP files are in the same location

You have to be careful with things like drawing data from remote sites as Flash 5 can only access pages within the same subdomain. Slainte
