CD-ROM data feeded from a URL (.asp)?

[blirette]

Hi

I'd like to know if it's possible to feed data on a CD-ROM running a Flash file calling a .ASP that would generate a content in the Flash?

I've done it before on a .swf file on the Web calling a PHP file but I don't know if it's possible from a CD-ROM...

Thanks for your time.

ASP and PHP require a specific webservice to process. It should be possible to call an ASP file from the web via CD-ROM, that is of course in theory. Best advice, trial and error.

Yeah, my early tests make my think it's possible. I've used your post (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=67379) as a template, which worked out fine.

Is there a way to detect if the user is connected to the Internet? Because now I'm using a counter to stop trying to get the URL if the guy isn't connected. Any better way?

Thanks Cota.

Loadvars will tell you that. the onLoad will be false if it coulnt contact that file. Which would indicate that there is no internet.
