passing Flash variable

[Anon]

I am trying to pass a variable from Flash 5.0 to a php page. The variable is passed with a getURL action to pass the variable with GET. Thus I am setting getURL "index.php" and passing the variable "page='this_page.php'".

The desired result is to have this URL string: index.php?page=this_page.php.

Unfortunately the Flash variable is passing ascii so the "_" comes out as %5F and the "." comes out as %2E...

any suggestions are appreciated.

urldecode() it.

You can also pass any variable in flash via loadVariables("myfile.php?myvar=" + myvar,""); Without using the POST/GET method within the loadVariable statement. Should pass the raw text version (ie, no URLencoding or escape sequence). If you do want to encode it just escape(myvar); before the loadVariable line.
