Oh yeah, Flash has a really cool class called ExternalInterface which
allows Flash > Javascript communication. You can call a Javascript
function from Flash - pretty neat - so you can read in JS variables and
also set them.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Child Object positions
Wow, flash is pretty flexible. Well, we use struts, so its
java with servlets/jsps. Can flash use javascript? I use dwr
a lot, so I wouldnt mind passing objects that way. Also, do i
need to buy more to accomplish this or is it built into flash? TIA!

I do have another question. I need my flash application to
communicate to the servers. Its an applications that updates data
server side. How is the accomplished in flash?
Many many different ways - what server side scripting is
available to
you? C#? PHP? JSP? ASP? ColdFusion? Java? VBScript?
What database is available to you? You'll need to use server-side
scripting to connect to the database.
Once you have the database and server-side scripting set
up, you can
use the Flash Webservices classes, Flash Remoting, LoadVars, or
getURL()/Get/Post, etc. - several ways in Flash - to
connect to the
server-side scripts.
I've tried several of those methods in Flash and personally found
Webservices (WSDL) with C# .NET the easiest and most
flexible way to
communicate with server-side scripting. It's not the
smallest packet
transfer since it's SOAP (XML format), but it's very
flexible and easy
and allows for complex data types to be transferred. The
Webservice
classes will get you started, just google webservices and
Flash. Then
you need to set up a WSDL Webservice in your server-side script.
Remoting is also a good way, but I found it overly complex and
somewhat buggy at times (at least combined with ColdFusion).
