asp... flash... together forever!

I don't know if any of you do flash, but I at least you can point out asp errors

.

Okay first off this is my asp code.

Code:

<HTML>
<!--#include file="adovbs.inc"-->
<%
set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set txt = filesys.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("/cubularrpg/db/chat.txt"),8,0)
txt.WriteLine = "Request(usesay)"
txt.close
%>
&received2=ok

this is the actionscript I used to write to this page.

Code:

on (release) {
	loadVariables("http://www28.brinkster.com/cubularrpg/usay.asp", POST[usesay]);
}

if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

P.S. here is the error.

Quote:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'WriteLine'

/cubularrpg/usay.asp, line 6

your syntax is wrong

txt.WriteLine = "Request(usesay)"
should be
txt.WriteLine(Request(usesay))

Thanks... plus one more thing, now I want the text I just added to be viewed in the Flash page so I use this

loadVariables("http://www.brinkster.com/cubularrpg/db/chat.txt", "_root.usee");

where usee is what the dynamic textbox is called.

you should use this actionscript:

loadVariables("http://www.brinkster.com/cubularrpg/db/chat.txt", "_root.usee", "POST");

You must define the variable type "POST" so it posts the text into the flash, not send it.

that will work, coming from a text file?

yes. oh..also in the text file you have to have the first word in the first line like this:

text=put text here, you can use html commands too, im not sure if all of them work in flash though, so if u use a html command and it doesnt work try something else. (if you use HTML, make sure in flash you click the Render as HTML) im not sure if u have to make it an HTML file extention or if u can just put HTML into the .txt file. try it a find out.

'text=' is the name of the variable "ex. Var: text". if you have no HTML in your file, unclick the Render as HTML button.

Note: im using Flash MX.

<HTML>

<%
set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set txt = filesys.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("/cubularrpg/db/chat.txt"),8,0)
txt.WriteLine(text=Request.cookies("cubularrpg")(" user") Request(usesay))
txt.close
%>
&received2=ok

well it still dosent work... I just get text= in the .txt file.
