More Flash Help

grax has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Im afraid I need a little bit more help. I am trying to send the query results and some other stuff to my flash file embedded in to a html file with the following code:

<embed src='C:/scripttestfolders/fdswebblue/otherstuff/detailssearch/f
+lash/detailssearch.swf?searchtype=$search_type_local&searchcriteria=&
+noofresults=$row_count&searchresults=$formatted_messages' quality=hig
+h pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi
+?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
+ width='520' height='600'>\n";
[download]

The variables I am trying to send are not all direct ODBC references, could this be the problem?
It isn't happening and I've tried everything I know!
Please help.

src must be readable by the browser. That means it must be an URL or the file must be installed on the Client, exactly with this Name.	[reply]

This isn't a Perl question. You'll need to find a Flash forum instead of PerlMonks. -- $Stalag99{"URL"}="http://stalag99.keenspace.com";	[reply]

AFAIK, you cannot pass variables to flash like this.. you will need to do this using a JavaScript somehow... with something that looks like: `document.embeds[0].searchtype = $ search_type_local;` [download] check this forum for help He who asks will be a fool for five minutes, but he who doesn't ask will remain a fool for life.
