Passing variables to a projector (exe) file

[mamaz]

Hi,

I have been trying to search for an answer on this question for a while now. I have come across a couple of tutorials that showed me that I can do this via two swf's but here's the situation:

I have produced a CD which runs a flash projector file (exe). I need to the projector file to send some variables to a website. I want the website to use those variables and do what it needs to do with them. I know how to do this part. The part which I have no clue on is this.

I need the website to send / pass variables back to the projector file (exe) and I need to be able to use this variables to accomplish certain tasks within the movie.

I know there are security hurdles here, but is it possible to send variables from the internet to a projector exe file running on a client machine? Will it depend on what browser is being used to view the website that is supposed send variables back?

I am by no means an expert in server side scripting or in flash but if someone can point me in the right direction I can learn.

Thanks in advance for your time.

hello !

I'm sure you thought this before, but perhaps you should consider readding this data from an .xml file.

otherwise I'm interested in your way to send variables from a projector to html.

I'll be greatful for your help if you can post or send by mail some of this procedures.



greetings. :D

Hi,
Neither am I an expert of Flash or Server side scripting but I came across this product called Zinc 2 that can do a lot of stuff with projectors.
Like directly talking to the database and stuff.
