Passing Variables

[xperimental]

Wasn't sure if this was the proper place to post this question, oh well, yell at me if you want.

What I have is a form that has a variable "total" it is a numeric answer to a mathamatical equation.

I then want to pass the answer "Total" into a new window and carry on the equation.

So how do I pass the variable "total" into a new movie, to continue the equation.

I don't want to keep it in the same FLA because I want the user to be able to go back and review the first page without losing the information they first posted.

Any ideas are appreciated as always!

To just send the total variable try:

loadMovieNum ("someOtherClip.swf?total=" + total, 0);

To send all variables in the movie try:

loadMovieNum ("someOtherClip.swf", 0, "GET");


Note that you can use GetURL in place of LoadMovieNUM here.

Okay I've been playing with this for a while and am having a hard time with it. Have you tested that to see if it works?

Just the one variable is what I'mm working with. And I am using GETURL if that will make a difference.

I'll keep bustin though!

Yes it works fine. It may not work on your PC though. That uses HTML variable pass methods so it's made to work ona webserver. If you run a local webserver test it on that, or upload it to your site and you'll see it works perfectly well.

My text script was:

testVar = "blah blah";
loadMovieNum ("clip2.swf?testVar=test " + testVar, 0);

clip2.swf has a text field which displayed "test blah blah" (the correct output).
