Flash MX Form - passing variables...

aamaker · Oct 24, 2004

I have a simple flash form and would like to pass the variables from that form to a pop up window* that will run ASP using the submitted vars...

The problem Im having is that the pop up window isnt capturing the variables... when I omit the pop up window routine, and just have the flash form submit to or 'get url' to a _blank page then the variables appear just fine... but with pop up, no vars...

* heres the pop up routine Im using:

What do I need to do in order to have the variables from the Flash form available to me in the pop up window? Is there a tutorial on this somewhere on the web?

thanks!

This method is really not good for passing variables to the pop-up window. If you need to pass variables I would recommend using:

Code:

on(release){
   getURL("myASP.asp","_blank","POST");
}

Then in your asp do something like this:

Code:

<script language = javascript>
function resize(){
   document.window.resizeTo(200,200);//(x,y)
}
</script>
<body onload="resize()">

Treat the asp vars as normal with request.form.

Hope it helps.

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