Yes, MX. No remoting. The problem I'm trying to solve is how to get the data to the Flash movie. I'm sure I'm overlooking something very stupid, but I just can't see it. I'll describe in more detail.
Page1.cfm : a student has just passed a test. We know the student's name, score, test ID, etc. here. Student clicks a button to go to: Page2.cfm : uses javascript to check for flash player versions, etc. and loads : Page3.swf : a very simple flash movie, just one frame, a background image, some static text, and some dynamic text fields. Action on the frame says loadVariables(Page4.cfm) : Page4.cfm : This page outputs the values that the movie needs to fill in the certificate. How is it supposed to know the values? The data is in the database, but since the movie didn't know the student ID or the test ID or anything, neither does this page. My solution was to write all the values to session variables in Page1, and output them here. So what am I missing? Thanks! >Carol, > >Is this flash MX? Are you using flash remoting?
