loadVariable Path

[louderthanu]

I can get a fully qualified domain name to work in the "path" parameter of the loadVariable command, ie. "

http://www.thisdomain/flashData.aspx"

I want to make it work locally with a relative path... that is, with "../flashData.aspx"

WHY won't it work?? I don't get errors, it just returns no data... It works perfectly when I have it on the live server...

Thanks

You have IIS set up correctly on your PC to run as a local server?

 

[louderthanu]

Yes I do... on both my local machines.

You have been using "../file.aspx" from macromedia or from local web files like

http://localhost/mytest/loadswf.htm?

If not you have to load the aspx from within localhost not from flash player

I follow what you're saying... and yes, that was the first thing I checked... It is being served by the webhost (locahost and/or the webserver)

I suppose to clarify, my question is doen't flash accept relative addressing? Or, am I just doing it wrong.

 

[shaddow]

flash accepts relative or absolute paths, you must do something wrong.

Also 1 more thing, maybe you missed it.
all flash functions that uses web pages are asynchronus witch means if you are doing an loadVariable the next instruction uses a variable that is not 100% loaded.
