Problem passing variables

1

I have a flash movie that I’m using to display a particular record in a database and to pull that record in I have this:

loadVariables(“newsquery.asp?id=21”, “_level0”);

That works fine, but where I have “newsquery.asp?id=21” I need to be able to make the 21 any record id that is requested. Normally using asp and html I would just request it from the querystring when the window is pulled up and I can do that with in this case. My question is how would I get the variable into the flash movie?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

put a variable in the frame that will equal your number or whatever the variable is

create another variable that is the previous variable plus the rest of the URL

instead of putting a path for the loadVars put the name of the second variable

varNum = “21”;
addy = “newsquery.asp?id=”+varNum;

loadVariables(_root.addy, “_level0”);

--------------------------edit-----------------------

i don’t know if you need the quotes " " around the value of varNum … i don’t think you do since it’s just a number.

I guess I’m not understanding your question(s) completely. As far as the id is concerned. But the question you had regarding how to insert a value from the Asp into flash is straight forward.

i.e.

In ASP-VbScript as an example:

In order to assign a variable and value to flash, you have to do this.

var mystring= “wow”
response.write “mystring=” & mystring

thats it and in flash just call the mystring value.

what I am saying I need to do is get the variable that I have in asp into the flash movie. For example, when I have a text box I’m able to name that text box something like:

textbox1

then to get the text into it I would have an out side file that said this:

textbox1=this text would appear

What I need to do though, is to get a variable from the querystring someway into the flash movie. The variable would always be a number and would need to go where you have:

varNum

how can I do that. I can use asp to get the varible written into javascript or anything else.
