Flash variable to HTML

[Beady]

Hi,

I need to be able to pass a variable from a Flash Movie and have it appear in a HTML page.

The situation is that I have a quiz done entirely in Flash and if the user gets a high enough score they are invited to enter their name and I then use GETURL to load a HTML page containing a certificate that they can print.

I can get the name into Flash and I can load the HTML page, but I'm not a Java person so I don't know how to access the variable into the web page. (If it was ASP I'd have done it by now).

Regards,
Bernard Davis

Why not keep everything in Flash? If you're using Flash 5 there's now a print function.

print(instance name of your movie,"bframe"

Which will send the image within the bounding box of the movie clip you specify to the printer. The command will print every frame of the clip so keep it to one or you can specify particular frames to be printed by sticking a #P label in the frames you want printed.

Thanks Wangbar,

Unfortunately, although I'm doing this in Flash 5 the client insists on delivery in Flash 4

Hi

Yes, very progressive and I'm working through a third party as well.

The problem with Victor's solution on the MM site is that it doesn't actually offer what I need.

The original piece can be played in any way, either a browser or a Flash player. What I need is the Java that accepts a variable passed by the Get method and then displays that in a HTML page that has no Flash content at all. I guess that I explained it poorly before.
