Integration Flash into ASP VB. Need your help

[predatoruk90]

Hello there, Im trying to integrate flash into an ASP page. I've read some literature about it (couldn't find much though) but still was not able force it to work.

Here's the script for the flash movie (it has 6 frames):

1 frame:

Code: Select all

loadVariables("testing.asp",0);

2 frame:

Code: Select all

if(ready = "no"){
 gotoAndStop(5);
}else{
 gotoAndStop(6);
}

3,4 are blank.

5 frame:

Code: Select all

gotoAndPlay(2);

6 frame contains word "loaded".

I want this movie to show "loading, pls wait" animation on the asp page until variable "ready" equals "yes", then it has to show "loaded" text.

What I get is:

1) The movie automaticly goes to the end event though "Ready" doesn't equal "yes".
2) In the second frame it doesn't check the value of "Ready" but assigns a value("yes") for some reason.
3) Sometimes script stucks and windows asks to terminate it, as my machine runs slowly. The script is pretty simple, why does this happen?

That's basicaly it, could someone explain to me why this thing doesn't work?

Thank you very much.

at the beginning of every frame put the stop(); commend above all of your AS just to make sure it stops (even though you are using gotoAndStop)

That should take care of the auto-advancing issue...

as for passing the variable through to the flash peice...it seems to me like you would need to declare the variable in flash as well as on the asp page using FlashVars. Something like:

<param name="FlashVars" value="Ready= no" />

and declare the variable in the action script too.

Cheers,

Scott
