Yeah - I wasn't talking semantics though, I am genuinely interested in how
you pull those variables out - where does the LoadVariables pull the CF
variables from?
I've used URL variables before fine - but limited as I said, due to the max
length of a URL string
I've used textfiles also - getting CF to create a textfile with the
variables written into it:
eg: variables.txt
**********************
var1 = Hello
var2 = Cheese
var3 = red hot poker
**********************
And Then Flash LoadVariables from variables.txt
Now I *know* that this is brutish and poor. Must be. Makes me wince just
looking at it.
How specifically are you handling it? I long for a better way...

Subject: Re: Integrating with Flash
I seldom use url variables. I am sure that someone will respond with a
url/form variable dissertation. However, I generally have an action page in
the background that does all the work and I have flash pull the variables
from it using flash's LoadVariables command. I suppose this is more like a
form variable pass as the method is "post". I don't have much time to get
caught up in symantics, I just do what I think works the best. You don't
need text output per say, you can just use cfcontent.
