Transfer data

[Kahlil]

ok this is a simple stuff that I seem I am missing.

I got two pair of text fields. One pair is input data and the other is dinamic data.

First I tried to type on one input text fields and be displayed on the dinamic fields. So far so good.

I put did code on the symbol containign the input text pair.

onClipEvent (enterFrame){
var a= _root.input.title.text;
var b= _root.input.body.text;
_root.output.writetitle.text = a;
_root.output.writebody.text = b;
}

Now the next step is that instead of being passed the data on real time. I want the data to be displayed with the click of a button.

so I took out the actual output of the variables and put it into a button like this.

on (release){
_root.output.writetitle.text = a;
_root.output.writebody.text = b;
}

This however didnt work... so I want to know why it didnt and how can I make it work.

did I miss something??

ok I found this alternative way to get the info passed. However, its not fully doing what I want.

I put this code on the button

on (release){
_root.output.writetitle.text = _root.input.title.text;
_root.output.writebody.text = _root.input.body.text;
}

as you can see instead of puting the data I put the whole path toward the content. However, I want to print the variable value into the dynamic text.

From the code, it seems that on the click, whatever the variables are for the "input" fields will be displayed in the "dynamic" fields. It doesn't?

[Kahlil]

Yeah thats what I try to achieve and it have. However I wanted the Variables to do that, not the path.

I want to load the info from 'input' into variables a and b and when the button was click those a/b variables will be displayed on the output.

Simple variables management, however it doesnt work.

[red penguin]

on (release){
a=_root.input.title.text;
b=_root.input.body.text;
_root.output.writetitle.text = a;
_root.output.writebody.text = b;
}

??

Okeydokey:

133 people have signed the flash-linux petition -so far, red penguin...! :)

[Kahlil]

You are one day late man.. I signed 2 days ago.

[Kahlil]

Thanks man thats great, now the evolution of this is how to load the Flash variables into PHP variables....

Have u ever done that? Can actionscript input data in PHP, I know somehow XML you can.

[red penguin]

If you want to pass vars to a PHP script, of course it's doable...

this.loadVariables("myScript.php", "POST");

...will pass that clip's vars to the script.

Oh, and thanks for signing the Linux thingy. Spread the word! And Kahlil, I'd rather people sign than sing!
