New to Director! Help with Highscore saving on server.

[Sorre webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi to everyone out there

I'm kind of new to Director lingo and I've been searching the web since 2 days and I figured why not join a forum maybe they can help me. This is my problem:
I designed a Game in Director and it works great, at the end of the game you get a score. Now I would reeeeeally like to have the user Type in his name and telephone Number and this should be stored online on my webserver (the score, name and number). I have webspace wich can handle perl and cgi scripts but I don't know how to write those Does anyone know or have an idea how to solve my problem ? That would be like Christmas and Birthday at the same time

Thanks Guys

bye

Does anyone recommend a book for director and "databases" or such ?

Hi !

I'm still having trouble in getting my script to work... I applied this behaviour to my Send Button

on mouseUp me
thePath = "\bin\database"
theFile = "highscore.txt"
myString = member("name").text && member("tele").text
theMode = 2
netID = postNetText ("http://www.sorre.iadttampa.org/bin/hscore.asp",["path":thePath,"filename":theFile,"filestring":myS tring,"mode":theMode])
go "Result"
end

and my ASP Script looks like this:

<%@ LANGUAGE = "VBScript" %>
<%
On Error Resume Next
' Constants for FileSystemObject
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8

'Form Variables
Dim fPath, fName, fString, fMode

fPath = Request.Form("path")
fName = Request.Form("filename")
fString = Request.Form("filestring")
fMode = Request.Form("mode")

'Test form variables

If fPath = "" Then
Response.Write "File path name is not specified"
Response.End
End If

If fName = "" Then
Response.Write "File name is not specified"
Response.End
End If

If fMode = "" Then
fMode = 8
Else
fMode = CInt(fMode)
End If

'Start processing

' Lock the application
Application.Lock

' Create a file system object and open the count file for reading
Set Fs = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")


'Check folder exists
If Not Fs.FolderExists(Server.MapPath(fPath)) Then
Fs.CreateFolder(Server.MapPath(fPath))
End If

'Check file exists
If Not Fs.FileExists(Server.MapPath(fPath & fName)) Then
Fs.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath(fPath & fName))
End If

'map the path
sPath = Server.MapPath(fPath & fName)

' Open the file
Set theFile = Fs.OpenTextFile(sPath, fMode)

'Check the mode
If fMode = 1 Then
'opened as read only
Response.Write theFile.ReadAll()
Else
' Write the string to the file
theFile.Writeline(fString)

' Close the counter file
theFile.Close
Response.Write "Done"
End If

' Unlock the application object
Application.Unlock

' Release File system object and file

Set Fs = Nothing
Set theFile = Nothing
%>

And I put all my files in the right directories but if I push the button to send nothing happens... >(
nothing is written and no error is displayed... >(
does anyone know anthing about Director and ASP ?
Can it really be so hard to save the score, Name and Telphone number in one single txt file ? I just can't believe it spend my whole weekend on this :(
Please anyone a suggestion ?
