I have a flash form that accepts input in two text fields. I’m trying to use the following actionScript to get this data to another flash file on another html page:
getURL(“URLstring”,"_self",“GET”);
This code works fine on Netscape 7.1 The new page containing the target flash file opens fine with the variables appended to the URLstring. (i.e. URLstring?variable=data).
It works only PARTIALLY on IE6. The html document defined by “URLstring” opens just fine, but the variables are NOT appended via the search string to the URL. IN other words instead of getting
URLstring?variable1=something&variable2=somethingelse
IE6 only provides the URLstring. I tried to manually code the URL with the search string as follows:
getURL("URLstring?variable1=something","_self")
But, IE6 strips off everything after the URL including the ‘?’
Does anyone know what is going on? I’ve tried using the “POST” method. I’ve tried using LoadVars() with GET and POST, but the behavior is the same. The variables are not passed.
Am I doind something wrong? Is there a better way to pass variables from one flash file to another embedded on a different HTML page.
Thanks in advance for any help.
