sending a variable to vb from flash

[leearach2004]

Hi there I have a problem that is realy boggoling me

I have a vb project that calls a variable from a flash movie using

Dim mess = Me.AxShockwaveFlash1.GetVariable("/:mess")

this works fine

the problem i have is in my flash movie i am using

on (release) {
	var mess = "bob"
	//var mess = "bob"
	
 //run fs command in vb code
fscommand ( "refreshtext" ,"");
}

this calls the related function in vb and runs fine the only problem i have is the variable mess is set to nothing when the flash movie loads, when the variable is sent to vb it is still nothing the var mess ="bob" is not updating the variable.

I tested this by assigning the word TEST to the mess variable on load of the flash movie and when i sen dthe variable to vb it says TEST not BOB as it has been assign on button click

Souldnt var mess = "bob" change the variable value to bob, dosent seem to for me

hope somone can help me

think it should be

fscommand("refreshtext" ,"bob");

 

[a6m1n0]

var mess = "bob";

That syntax error will keep the var from initialising with the value.

-a6m1n0
