Don't use getURL, use loadVars instead. You don't want to reload the page but instead make a request from the Flash movie and use the returned data.
Does that sound right?

It needs to work it the following manner index.cfm (select date and post back to index.cfm) date is passed into movie.swf using flash vars getURL now passes this date to page.cfm where a query is run on the database and xml is produced (response header content type = text/xml)...Thanks for that again!... I now need to get back to index.cfm and load the xml output from page.cfm back into movie.swf phew! again, any ideas would be greatly appreciated, alan >If your Flash file is calling this .cfm page that generates XML, then tap >the vars onto the end of the URL. > >getURL("page.cfm?var1=1&var2=2"); > >Or whatever your call looks like. > >Adrian >http://www.adrianlynch.co.uk/ > >Hi, > >Is there a way to pass FlashVars values from a .swf file to a ColdFusion >page ? > >I've got a page with a calendar, I select a date and post it to itself. >I then pass it into the .swf using FlashVars. > >I now need to pass the date to another coldfusion page which creates xml >output based on this date which will then be loaded back into the .swf, >populating it with the newly created xml. > >Is this possible or what would be the best say to approach this. > >Many thanks in advance > >alan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Newbie/message.cfm/messageid:3628 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Newbie/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15
