Two Questions

[TonyL]

1. I need to pass the value from a dynamic textbox to a loadmovie command, I've tried everything I know but nothing works. Can anyone help?

2. I am using asp to display content from an access db. I have decided that rather than looping the recordset I will display one item per page and use a next button. I have the link in asp to page through the recordset but I need to bring this into flash, the link consists of a constant value and a variable:

<a href=" & chr(34) & "news2.asp?id=" & RS("Id") & chr(34) & ">Next</a>

news2.asp?id= being the constant
RS("Id") being the variable...

how can I re-create this in flash?? I have tried passing through the whole link to flash from the asp, but it just links out of the flash movie to the next record.

hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

1. The text field has a variable name (and path). It's as simple as referencing the variable:

loadMovieNum(_root.myTextFieldVar,0);

2. Sorry don't know ASP. You should just be able to use:

loadVariablesNum("news2.asp?id=" + _root.yourVarName,0);

Note that you may need to add an additional noCache var:

loadVariablesNum("news2.asp??noCache=" + random(1000000) + "&id=" + _root.yourVarName,0);

Thanks, They both work. But, the loadmovie does not display unless I click back into the scene? Any ideas?

[Jesse]

Back into the scene? I don't get you...

Go to

www.dance101.co.uk

and click News, this is the scene where I want to display my dynamic images. When you go there for the first time the image does not display, If you click news again the image now displays.

I can't explain that one... What's the exact load code you're using?

[TonyL]

NewsText = "Loading News Articles...";
loadVariablesNum ("news2.asp", 0);
loadMovie (_root.imgname, "NewsPic");

[Jesse]

I can't see any faults with that. I'm stumped.

Ok, thanks for helping me out with the other stuff
