passing a array from an asp page to flash

[sthmpsn1]

How would I pass an array from an asp page to a flash file?

You can pass data out to Flash as url encoded variable pairs so you could either write some ASP script that takes your array and formats it like this:

arrayValue0=something&arrayValue1=somethingelse&arrayValue2=...

which Flash can read in via loadVariables or loadVars.

Or concatenate the array into a single string with a separator so it looks like this (using '|' as the separator):

arrayString=12|23|42|546| etc

load into Flash as above then create an array from the 'arrayString' variable withing Flash like this:

flashArray=arrayString.split('|');
