How do you pass a Flash Variable to Classic ASP page?

[richo]

I've given up on passing a flash variable to an ASP.NET page and have decided to use classic ASP instead!

I understand this would be the actionScript code(?):

var varSend:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
varSend.score= score_txt.text;
varSendsend("setscore.asp", "_blank", "POST")

Also, is it okay to put this on a button?

But how would i receive this in ASP? Anyone have some example code?

Any help mucho appreciated.

var varSend:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
varSend.score= score_txt.text;
varSend.send("setscore.asp");


ASP

myVar = Request("score")

That will set the incoming score variable to myVar

Thanks, looks simple!

It's not working :confused:

At the moment i've put it on the submit button.

on(press){

var varSend:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
varSend.score= score_txt.text;
varSend.send("setscore.asp","_self");

}

the asp:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<% myVar = Request("score") %>
<%Response.Write myVar%>

it just doesn't work! Whyyyy?

few things....

var varSend:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

on(press){
varSend.score= score_txt.text;
varSend.send("setscore.asp","_self");

}

Shouldnt declare LoadVars in an on handler.


<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"
myVar = Request("score")
Response.Write myVar%>

You need a <% %> for every line. Just the first and last. I would also suggest you read up on Classic ASP and the LoadVars object alittle bit more.

still doesn't work.

i put this "var varSend:LoadVars = new LoadVars();" on the frame and ress on the button press.

Still doesn't work!!!!

god this is annoying! :mad:

my code seems completely correct but it just isn't working!

on(press){
var varSend:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
varSend.score= score_txt.text;
varSend.send("http://localhost/content/edXtra/christmas2006/setscore.asp","post");
}

ASP still the same.

Problem solved!

The code was actually completely wrong! The code below is the correct method for using loadVars, found in the Flash ActionScript dictionary:

on(press){
var varSend = new LoadVars();
varSend.score= score;
varSend.send("http://localhost/content/edXtra/christmas2006/setscore.asp","_self","post");
}

Glad you got it solved.
