I want to pass a user name variable from a Flash registration form
(register.swf) to a Flash login form (login.swf), but instead of passing the
variable, it passes the variable name. What am I doing wrong? Please someone
help. This seems pretty basic, but try finding any information in Flash help,
or Macromedia's online support!
Here is the code in question (everything else works so I leave it off):
else {
[b]usern = (uname);[/b]
register.putUser(fname,lname,uname,passw,email,bio);
}
}
function putUser_Result(result)
{ trace (result)
if (result == 1) {
error_message.text = "That user name is taken, please try again";
}
else if (result == 9) {
getURL("login.swf?user=usern", this);
_______________________________________________________________________________
I have also tried:
else {
[b]set (usern, uname);[/b]
register.putUser(fname,lname,uname,passw,email,bio);
}
}
function putUser_Result(result)
{ trace (result)
if (result == 1) {
error_message.text = "That user name is taken, please try again";
}
else if (result == 9) {
getURL("login.swf?user=usern", this);

And:
else {
register.putUser(fname,lname,uname,passw,email,bio);
}
}
function putUser_Result(result)
{ trace (result)
if (result == 1) {
error_message.text = "That user name is taken, please try again";
}
else if (result == 9) {
getURL("login.swf?user=uname", this);

As well as many others... it seems to me the last one posted (the first one I
tried) should work.
"[b]register.putUser(fname,lname,uname,passw,email,bio);[/b]" inserts uname
and all other variables into the database fine, so the variable uname holds the
value I want. However When I try to pass it to login.swf and populate the field
it displays "uname" or "usern" or whatever variable name is used, instead of
the value I want passed.
I have also tried:
[b]getURL("login.swf?user=form.uname", this);[/b] (displays form.uname in
login.swf)
[b]getURL("login.swf?user=User_Name.uname", this);[/b] (where User_Name is the
textfield instance name. Similar result to above)
[b]getURL("login.swf?user='uname'", this);[/b] (gives me 'uname' including the
single quotes in login.swf.)
... here's the relevant line in login.swf:
[b]user_name_l.text = user;[/b]
Maybe there's something else I need to do on the recieving end to properly
grab the value?
Lastly, I did get it to work by remoting to CF, doing a lookup with a reverse
order by time, with only 1 row returned. Problem, on one instance CF inserted a
new record and recoreded the time as 15 seconds before the previous insert
(?!)... I don't know why, and it only happened once, but it obviously retrieved
the previous user name instead of the newly registered user name. This solution
also seems rather tedious and less clean, and leaves open possibilities for
problems like the one I mention.
HELP!!!
Thanks in advance!
P.S. is there a way that anyone knows about to pass variables directly between
Flash movies without using HTTP?
