Thanks a heap Dominic and Richard! You're right - that flash demo at http://www.cybergrain.com/tech/demos/flashhtml/ was of extremely great use. It's always nice to do something for the first time in Flash, that you didn't think was possible. Cheers again. On 01/11/05, Dominic Fee [EMAIL

You could just do a flash form that sends the values of your flash input fields through a LoadVars object along WITH the value of a X,Y coordinate corresponding to where some hole-y MC was drag above a T-shirt MC. The whole thing would just be handled by flash. On 30/10/05 6:49, Michael Bedar

The person who gave me the brief said something along the lines of Sure Flash can talk straight to a database! All you need to do is set the connection string or something! I hitherto hadn't realised this was possible - I've always thought you used loadVariables to call an (in my experience) ASP

Have you thought about not using flash? You could create an imagemap (even though they're old hat) with about 15 pre-defined regions over an image (I'm guess that's as accurate as you need it). Clicking a region could run a javascript function that tells the form what region it is an submits it.

Sure Flash can talk straight to a database! All you need to do is set the connection string or something! - shure it can not, it needs a server side language of your choice to do so. to clear things up. - you have a html form with a flash movie embedded. - the html form calls a server side

Well, since you're using ASP you can take advantage of the Session object by storing the input from the flash movie in a session until the user submits the form. In your Flash movie you would POST your X,Y variables to an ASP script which in turn stores them as Session(X) and Session(Y) or
