ok I am trying to pass variables forma flash form to a Lotus Notes Domino form, I can get it ot call a javascript alert but it will not pass the variables anybody????

code in flash I think the set("Stmt".... is my problem

on (press) {
set ( "JavFlashfieldname", NAME );
set ("JavFlashfieldemail", EMAILADDRESS)
set("Stmt","javascript:update('" & NAME & "', '" & EMAILADDRESS & "')");
getURL(Stmt)
}

code in HTMl Head this is in domino so there are some syntax diffences but i don think the problem is here I think it is in the actionscript

&quot;<SCRIPT Language=\&quot;JavaScript\&quot;>&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;<!--&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;function update(JavFlashfieldname,JavFlashfieldemail)&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;{&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;document.forms[0].DomNamefield.value=JavFlashfieldname&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;document.forms[0].DomEmailfield.value=JavFlashfieldemail&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;//document.forms[0].submit()&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;alert(\&quot;Hello\&quot;);&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;}&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;// -->&quot; + @NewLine +
&quot;</SCRIPT> &quot;

If you already have the variables NAME and EMAILADDRESS set by input fields in your SWF, all you should need is:

on (press) {
getURL(javascript:update(NAME, EMAILADDRESS);
}

That will send the 2 variables to the UPDATE function in your HTML, where their values will become JavFlashfieldname and JavFlashfieldemail. Make sure you test it in the browser, not with CONTROL > TEST MOVIE.
 
That is how I originally had intended for it to work but no luck thus far. Seems the problems is with the variables, cause I can use get url to use an alert in JS so I cant see why it cant execute the update function??? this is killing me!
