sending a variable to server side

[biry]

i'm trying this simple procedure of sending a input text box (txtName) input as a variable to an asp page, as you can probably guess its not working, this is what i have as an actionScript:

on (press) {
loadVariables("

http://www.company.com/page.asp",

0, "POST");
}

i'm publishing in flash 6

asp:

bb = Request.Form("txtName") I've even tried just:
request("txtName")


thanks

That should be working. Is the textbox on the same timeline as the button? Are you using the Var or Instance name setting for the textbox?

Try this:

on(release){
   myLv = new LoadVars();
   myLv.textName = _root.textName.text; //assuming instance name "textName" for textbox on main timeline of root movie.
   myLv.send("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.company.com/page.asp","POST");[/URL]
}

The LoadVars object is far more versatile than loadVariables or getURL (which can also be used).

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

word of warning

dont use send.....always use sendandload and include the object

send ought to work but so often fails

myLv.sendand load("

http://www.company.com/page.asp",mylv,"POST")
