Need help with a simle re-direct script

[PiMaster]

I'm making a game, and I'm making a button that re-directs to another page, but I need it to send the score variable and I don't know how. Anyone know?

u can use a getURL method & include the variable in the path, with a PHP script - should work.

i dont think you even need to use a PHP script
you could use javascript to split the url (window.location), grab the name value pairs, and write the OBJECT and EMBED tags, including FlashVars, with the values you have extracted from the url.

How do I do the getUrl and PHP? I need code, I don't know much actionscript.

 

[BluesmanUK]

getURL is an actionscript function for loading pages into the browser (or for running scripts on the server)

eg getURL("

http://www.yoursite.com/nextpage.php?user=namehere&score=scorehere");

if youre using php to pick it up on the next page
all u need to do is use $_GET

eg
echo $_GET('name');
echo $_GET('score');

I want to use post to send the variables. What's the getURL code for that?

 

[BluesmanUK]

check the actionscript documentation, getURL takes a method parameter, so u can specify either GET or POST

eg
getURL("

http://www.yoursite.com/nextpage.php",

"_self", "POST");

So it automaticly sends the variables?

 

[BluesmanUK]

Yeah, it sends the variables that are on the current timeline.
What I used to do was put all the variables that I wanted to send on a movieclip (such as a send button), and put the getURL code on the button MC too, to ensure everything was together. This is simple and works, but nowadays its better practice (AS2.0) to use the LoadVars class.
