Question

Output from Flash to session cookies

Hi,

I'm a newbie as far as Flash is concerned. My background is coding dynamic ASP 3.0 with ODBC connection to Access databases. I have a number of educational programmes written in Flash that I want to be able to track the progress of the student through each scene so I can provide advanced reporting.

I am hoping the simplest solution ( not necessarily the best) is to get each scene to write to the session cookie. I can use the Global.asa file Session.end event to capture the output to write to a database. I would like to write several variables for each scene - course name, scene number, date & time.

All help appreciated

you can use the LoadVars() class to communicate with your server-side programs and send/receive variable/value pairs.

Hi Kglad,

Good news - that sounds like an answer....

Did I say I was a newbie??!!

I really appreciate you help though. Is it possible to get a paint by numbers answer?

I am hoping that I can add the needed action script at the beginning of each scene.

Merry Christmas

what data do you want to report? the last completed program (scene)? the student's possible mid-program (mid-scene) progress? something else?
