Help Please Question about Flash Sending and Loading..

hey i just have a question i am pretty new to flash
but i have figured a few things out.

I have retrieve button on my form, which recalls information entered. what i want to do is
when a person enters examppe 7855 it pulls up there information..

so far i have this. to demonstrate abit of my code

PHP Code:


		
			
//actionscript not php..



on (release)

{

    myLVs = new LoadVars();

    myLVs.load("lrm.asp");

    myLVs.onLoad = function(success)

    {

        other.text = myLVs.other

        details.text = myLVs.details

this only loads my data from the database,
So i have the Input box called "store" with MyLVs

do i have to use the sendAndLoad ? to send the number and then get a responce from the server?..

and if so where would i have to place it in my script and what would i change?

thanks if someone coupld help me please.

Well, if its asp we are dealing with im not gonna be able to help you on that part.... the flash part is pretty simple though....
if you are using the value "7855" in your php or asp script, you DO need to sendAndLoad. for example...

Code:

scriptURL = "http://www.me@myhost.com/script.php";
myLVs = new loadVars();
// query is the variable name we will use in the php or asp script. 

myLVs.query = inputText.text;
myLVs.sendAndLoad(scriptURL, this, "POST");
myLVs.onLoad = function(){
       // we will say that the php or asp script sent back a variable named response and we are going to display it in a text field named responseText;

responseText.text = myLVs.response;

}

No matter what scripting language it is you are using, make sure that all responses to flash are structured like this....

PHP Code:


		
			
// echo is the way to send info back to the users browser in php... use the according method in other languages.... 

echo "&response=$variable";

Hope this could be of help to you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

If php sends

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "&response=$text";

then flash's loadVars object that called the php script will recive the variable "response" with a value of "$text". To access this variable....

Code:

trace(myVars.response);

will print out the value of response.

all you'd need to do is reference the instance name of the radioGroup or radioButton and set the setState method to set the checked value. the if statement is exactly the same as any other if statement

cheers,

you can set the tabOrder of any MovieClip or button. i believe it's

object.tabIndex = num;

where num is any real number. You'll need to speicify for every tabable item.

cheers,

bret
