cfformitem script variable used in cfif

[superkat]

Hi,

I have this code within a cfform in flash format:

<cfformitem type="script">
mycat = {Category.selectedItem.data};
</cfformitem>

<cfformitem type="html">
<cfif #mycat# IS 'XXX'>....</cfif>
</cfformitem>

It tells me #mycat# is undefined

Can someone tell me how i can correctly set the mycat variable so that i can
use it with my cfif?
it would be very nice of you because i'm lost here ;-(

regards,
kat

You can't

Action script is client side, Coldfusion is server side !!

It's available in actionscript.

So, let's assume you want to change the text in a form field called "myText"

Then

if(mycatt == 'XXX'){
_root.myText.text = 'Some new text.';
}
