I am using ASP to get data from a MsAccess Database and pass it onto flash. The data is coming in fine and I can display it in a textBox if I set the text instances’ variable to what ever the variable name is from the asp, in this case “flcomment” and “fldate”. In the finished movie though I would like to have a scrolling html text box displaying news - so it needs to be formatted with a date and the comment underneath that, and so on.
Like I said above, I can display the text above fine, but when using [color=Blue]mainText.htmlText = this.flcomment;[/color] (I’m using ‘this.’ because I am using loadVariables (“getnews.asp”, this, “POST”)) the textbox displays “undefined”. I understand that the variable probably isn’t formatted to go into a texbox that way. I could use [color=Blue]mainText.variable = flcomment[/color] but the problem is that I want to format the text in the way I said above. Is there a way to convert that variable into a string?
