RE: Flash question

[Doyle Calvert]

Ricardo,   Couldn’t you use loadvariables to trigger your cgi from Flash?   i.e. loadVariables("http://www.yourserver.com/your.cgi", "_root.targetVar");   Since there’s no real return value coming back from your cgi, targetVar is really just a dumb target. You can also pass values to your cgi using this method if you want or need to.   Hope this is helpful.   Doyle Calvert DigitalDoyle 817.232.4921 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Check out the new site! www.digitaldoyle.com   -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Sanoja [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 3:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OT: Flash question   For the Flash Guru’s out there.   I need to make an http call, but I don’t want to go anywhere or open a new window.  This is how it works. The current process has an anchor tag that points to a URL with a cgi call to perform a specific task.  The target is set to a 1 pixel frame, therefore the user never leaves the screen, yet the cgi, performs it’s task.  I want to perform the name function sans the frame.  I need to make a http call and that is it. Return null, or ignore the server response.   I am using Flash MX on a Windows 2000 server.   Let me know if any of this makes no sense or if you happen to have the answer.   Sincerely, Ricardo M.
