Could anyone give me some quick pointers. I've been scouring the net but I
can't seem to get a handle on it and Adobe's help file is useless as far as
I can tell.
I just want to have a button that opens a URL and sends that URL a single
POST variable.
I'm using AS2 and I get the idea I should be using LoadVars or
LoadVariables, but the online help seems to be all about doing AJAX type
things with sending and receiving data.
Any help greatly appreciated.

This is where I'm up to so far (code attached to button): |
on(release){
variables = new LoadVars();
variables.outro = 7;
variables.send("index.php", "_self", "POST");
}
I want to be able to use $_POST['outro'] in PHP. It's not there.
Interestingly on the receiving page, it seems the request method is GET
rather than POST which would indicate that something is very wrong, although
the movie does actually navigate to the new page so something's happening.
I so wish I'd practised a while before I tried to do this for my client.

Well you seem to have the code right. |
But just to make sure you are indeed setting the LoadVars put a trace in
there and 'test movie'.
after your
variables.outro = 7;
trace("variables.outro = "+variables.outro);
(Comment out the send method.)
//variables.send("index.php", "_self", "POST");
Once you know that your LoadVars is getting set then we can move to the PHP.
Then in your PHP code to view all your $_POST use
print_r($_POST);
to see what is getting posted to the page.
Just some suggestions, you may have already tried this.
Good Luck

Thanks for looking.
It's one of those face in hands and apologies for bothering the group
moments - I'd changed one instance of the button but then tested another
instance which still had one of my previous failed attempts at AS attached
to it.
I have a different, non-AS issue now, which I'll bother the Flash NG with,
but just in case anyone here knows.
This site (www.c2recruitment.com) and my own site (www.dreamberry.co.uk)
both feature several pages with the same Flash object. In IE6/7 there's a
seamless transition between pages, but in Firefox there's a flicker before
the object is put in place. Is there any way round that?
