LoadVars - Write to server

programming flash
1

i’d like to program a film that can communicate with an other client.

so its necessary to write sth to the server. (and after that to read that information by the other clients)

but i dont get that first problem to solve. here my .fla and .php file. why doesnt it work?

source in flash:

on (release) {
_root.mybutton.onRelease = function() {
var c = new LoadVars();
c.datenstring = “test”;
c.send(“writer.php”);
stop();
};
}

thx 4 any help

Start by changing your script to

on (release) {
	var c = new LoadVars();
	c.datenstring = "test";
	c.send("writer.php");
	stop();
}

Because you were assigning a onPress event to the button when you pressed it…
Did you try to simply echo the variable on the PHP side?

oh yes, of course!!! i that way it’s working on the 2nd mouse click.

well i’ve edited it. thanks for your answer.

but it doesnt work well. nothing happens with:
c.send(“writer.php”);

but writer.php writes the file with:
c.send(“writer.php”, this);

but i dont want to open a new window, and thats what happens with that ‘this’.

thx 4 your honesty :wink:

well, i’ve found an alternative with loadVariables.

writing works fine, but not reading… thats strange. could you have a look?
