Picture that correspond to the variable

[bubu]

Hello!
I am reading an ASP file in my flash movie and take 3 variables: destination, price, link.

For every destination i have a different picture...how can i choose the right picture for every destination according to the destination variable...

I know that is very simple but i am really dizzy now...i had an exam today and my mind is glowing

Regards,

Buba - I have developed a web site that uses a Microsoft Access data base to populate each web page.Text and graphics. Here is the code I used for the graphics.


<img src=&quot;URL/<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item(&quot;GraphicsData&quot.Value)%>&quot; align=&quot;top&quot;>

The field GraphicsData contains the name of the graphics file. All graphics files are in a folder in the the URL.

Do you use one picture for each of the three variables?

i.e.
destination - associated with one picture, say Pic1
price - associated with one picture, say Pic2
link.- associated with one picture, say Pic3

I have one destination that has a price and a link...so i have a different picture for every &quot;destination&quot; variable. Regards,

I can thing of two ways to do this.

One Way:
Use the data base to access the graphics - To do this use two fields.
A) Field one is called destination
B) Field two contains the Name of the graphics file

Use ASP to retrieve the correct Graphics file.

Second Way:
This might be the easier of the two. Use IF statements in Flash to access the correct graphics according to the variable name.

Where are you placing the picture ? On the same web page as Flash, or in the Flash movie ?

Buba - You could elliminate all this efort by just putting the graphics file name in the data base, and access it when you get the destination.
