I had it suggested that I use the HTTPService() method to post a variable value to a SQL Server database. The suggestion came from someone with some past experience in Flash but nothing specifically related to posting variables to a database. I’m a noob in this too so we’re the blind leading the blind.
This person sent me the following code snippet that he found in a Flex forum (and changed a bit), with a suggestion that maybe it will work with a bit of massaging.
private function start():void {
service = new HTTPService();
service.url = "http://webServer.aspx";
service.method = "POST";
service.resultFormat = "object";
var params:Object = new Object();
params.learnerName= "myVar value";
service.send(params);
}
My biggest problem is that I’m using Flash instead of Flex. What is the Flash (non-Flex) equivalent of HTTPService() method in the following code snippet? Or am I even on the right track?
