I am working with a school who wants a registration page. I have the layout down but need help with actionscripting.

There are 40 classes that can be taken at this school. Each class has a radial button to the side of it which can be selected to state that you want to take the class. At the bottom of the page is place for them to put their name and an identificattion number. Following these two text input fields is a submit button. When my clients students press this submit button I want it to send the radial button information along with the classes next to it, plus their name and their identification number to a frame within the movie that will be accessed by the school to retrieve their registration information. IMPORTANT THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO KNOW WHO REGISTERED, WHAT CLASSES THEY SELECTED AND WHAT THEIR IDENTIFICATION NUMBER IS. I know this can be done with variables but I do not know where to start? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You cannot do this in Flash alone if the movie is closed before the teachers have accessed the data. You would have to put the variables into a text file (in which case you would not use Flash to register the names etc.) and read the text file from Flash.

well, actually, you can use javascipt to pass those values out of the swf. It's not terribly complicated once you know how to utilize the values you send.
