RE: Flash question

[Dan Blackman]

The only way I can think of doing it is to create a label in another frame(Not HTML frame) on the timeline, insert a keyframe and use gotoAndPlay(from your button) to enter that frame.  Then in that frame you can call the cgi script to perform its action including a stop() action at the end.  I think you can use "_self" with the getUrl function to keep the page from changing off the page.....I haven't tested this theory, but thats the direction I would head....   Hope this helps!?!?!?! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ricardo Sanoja Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 3:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Flash question I am attaching the action to a slider control and using actionscript to trigger the getURL() function.   Sincerely, Ricardo M.

The current process has an anchor tag that points to a URL with a cgi call to perform a specific task.  The target is set to a 1 pixel frame, therefore the user never leaves the screen, yet the cgi, performs it�s task.  I want to perform the name function sans the frame.  I need to make a http call and that is it. Return null, or ignore the server response.   I am using Flash MX on a Windows 2000 server.   Let me know if any of this makes no sense or if you happen to have the answer.   Sincerely, Ricardo M.
