ASP and flash...

How do I go about learning how to mix the two together. Basically so you can play a game in FLASH then it record your score and your username to a database? I would love to know how to do this. I am going to be creating a flash game for one of my friends and it is going to give the person with the highest score every month a free meal at his restuarant. He's in no rush at all, and only reason he asked me to do it was so I would have something to do. He said as long as it's done in 10 years he'll be down with it. lol. so I got 10 years :wink:.

Flash can use loadvariables() to POST and GET data to anything. So all you need to do is, for example, post your data to an asp document.
The ASP just needs to take those form variables, enter them into the db and return a variable to flash indicating this has happened.

Flash variables are a little odd however. They look like this:
&variable=value&variable2=value2
So... as long as ASP returns data in that format, flash will immediately treat what it gets as individual variables - quite handy!

cool, I am going to play around with this some. lol. I'll just be creating an on mouse over set variable +1 then try to send it to the database. If this works I can then work on making my program run. I'll post back with a link if I get it to work properly! Thanks bud.

why not use XML? Isn't it easier?

cause XML can't do what I need it to do and I program ASP.

hey can anyone tell me the best asp free site?? How do you make a asp homepage?

Well I found a good asp website but now I need to know how to make homepages and other pages can anyone help me? I also need to know how to make a login box with protected pages and the e-mail validation code thing to auto update new users? Help me plz!

It's a lot of work and you will need a database. Then you will need to lear how to call items from it. Best way to go is to buy a book on the subject. Webdesign isn't something you can learn from one post.. it's going to take you years. People don't realize how complicated it really is.

Hey Amari!!

Can you please stop going off topic!!!

This thread is entitled 'ASP and Flash', NOT 'Where can i find a free host!'

Thanx
