Sending dynamic form variables to database

Hi,
I have a Flash form where I’m sending two variables, one is an input field (name) and the other is a score which has been generated by Flash and is displayed dynamically. The name writes to the database fine but for some reason the dynamic score won’t. No errors are being thrown. I’m new to Flash and tested the page as an asp file and this works fine, it’s just when I pass the variable from Flash. Is there some kind of setting I need to change or can you not insert dynamic text into a database?
Thanks
Lisa
