I am using the ExternalEvent handler to pass a string into my web page.
 
ExternalEvent(myString)

I then used a sub funktion in vb script to catch the event om my web page.

<script language="vbscript">
sub MovieName_ExternalEvent(myString)
 msgbox(myString)
end sub
</script>

So far everything works fine. I get a messagebox to pop up with myString in it. Now the problem begins. I want myString to pass into a textfield on my page.

 <input type="text" name="Kod" value="<%= myString%>">

This is an ASP page. That shouldnt make any difference i think. It seems that i cant get the variable to pass anywhere outside the sub funktion.
I know this is not a real Lingo problem. But anyone who has used the externalevent might have solved this problem. And i am in real need of help.
