collecting registry info and posting info to URL

[surftheearth]

I am trying to build a training CD-ROM for a client. The client needs wants to be able to track when his employees use the disc, what OS system they are using, and their CPU speed (all stuff that we had been getting from the registry using the Buddy API XTRA for Director).

That being said, we wanted to make this new disc using Flash instead of Director, but I'm not sure how to collect registry data with Flash and then be able to post that info to a URL so that the client can track the info.

Any suggestions on how to do something like this in Flash? I was thinking that I might be able to use the getURL function to post the info to a URL, but not sure...

Thanks in advance for any help!

You'll need to use a third party tool like Zinc in order to pull info from the registry in the first place...

getURL would be the correct method to post to a URL.

AS for registry data, the only thing that can probably do it is fscommand, but I really don't know much about it. Look it up.
