Getting AS3 to work with Coldfusion

G.Bob · G.Bob

Hi there,
All I really need to do is quite simple, but I have no background w/
Coldfusion, so I find myself Stuck.

I need AS3 to read a number in the .cfm in which my swf is embedded. It just
has to recognize a "0" (user has not yet seen this page and used the
application) or a "1" (user has used application, go to frame 5 which tells
them to take a hike b/c they have already used the one-time offer dealy).

I am using Flash CS4 and Coldfusion 8. Anyone?

Thanks!

If anyone can explain the most basic way for AS3 to communicate w/ coldfusion,
that would be most helpful. Here is my code (which doesn't work) to give you
an idea - I just need a start, then I can go from there.

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

loader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loading);
loader.load(new
URLRequest("http://127.0.0.1:8501/newprism/alpha/greg/work_in_progress/spinWheel
/flashtest.cfm"));

function loading(event:Event):void {
fname.text=loader.data.fname;
}

Here is the .cfm:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<cfset user="Julie">
<cfoutput>
fname=#user#
</cfoutput>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Anyone?
