Flash and ASP not working

[idratherbearobot]

I am writing a flash movie that will read a dynamicaly generated list of file names from an ASP script.

The issue I am having is that when Flsh accesses the ASP via loadVariablesNum, it is reading it as a tesxt file, not an ASP.

I have included sample code below to illustrate what I mean.

Sample ASP:
<%
dim xvar
For index = 1 to 5
xvar = xvar & "x,"
Next
Response.Write "&testVar=2"
Response.write xvar
Response.write "&"
%>

Sample ActionScript
loadVariablesNum("testASP.asp", 0, "GET");

I then have a dynamic text field with a variable set to testVar.

After accessing the ASP, the text field reads:
2"
Response.write xvar
Response.write "

It should read:
2x,x,x,x,x,

Can anyone help me out? Tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Use LoadVars.

Create a movie with just the dynamic text box with the instance name testVar.

My sample has the asp file (exactly as you posted it above) located in a local directory. On the first frame of the main timeline (actions layer) insert the following:

myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.onLoad = function(success){
	if(success){
		_root.testVar.text = myVars.testVar;
	}else{
		_root.testVar.text = "Error";
	}
}
myVars.load("[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/test.asp");[/URL]

The result in the text box is "2x,x,x,x,x,".

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
