Passing variable from Flash to Html then to (?)VB

[tilotama]

i have this crazy program that requires variables assigned in Flash, for example

varNumber = 1;

passed to an HTML page called 'Variables.html'. How can i do this?

The html page will then pass varNumber=1 to a VB executable file that is already opened by the HTML document.

This program will actually integrate VB with HTML as well as Flash. is it possible?

or is there an easier way to do this.

HTML has no methods of handling variables. You would have to pass your Flash variable to a javascript on your HTML page, or maybe to the VB script, and go from there.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

If the HTML page is posting to the VB Script just skip the HTML page and post directly to the VB page (asp?).

Example:

//on submit button
on(release){
   getURL("myVBPage.asp","blank","POST");
}

Tviman is right... you can't post variables to HTML, you have to post them to a script of some sort. Above should work for you.

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