im trying to get my default.asp page to parse its username retrieved from my database to my flash movie. this is like a welcome page when the user has successfully login to my website and a welcome message with user's name in the flash movie.

the asp code



<%
Dim strPage,username
strPage = "default"
username = session("username")
%>

first of use the loadVars object.
secondly u r calling a page immersed with html, flash is just going to go huh, unless of course u want to parse it as xml. i would advise u to look at the tutorials availible on the web, you should get a bit more of an understanding in this regard.

so you just want to pass the username form the html/asp into flash? do a search for flashvars, or oldnewbie has a post in the mx actionscript forum that has a link for flashmethod - setvariable.... do a quick search, you should find it in about 10 minutes or so.

but in that case he can just pass it as a variable in the querystring for the embed and object tags. i think he is trying to load the username via an asp script, and not use setVariable which is a clientside action.
could b wrong.
