mbchr() 27
Description
Function; reads data from an external file, such as a text file or text generated by a
ColdFusion, CGI, ASP, PHP, or Perl script, and sets the values for variables in a Flash Lite
level. This function can also update variables in the active SWF file with new values.
The text at the specified URL must be in the standard MIME format application/x-www-
form-urlencoded (a standard format used by CGI scripts). Any number of variables can be
specified. The following example phrase defines several variables:
company=Macromedia&address=600+Townsend&city=San+Francisco&zip=94103
Normally, Flash Lite displays a single SWF file, and then closes. The loadVariablesNum()
function lets you display several SWF files at once and switch among SWF files without
loading another HTML document.
To load variables into a target movie clip, use the
loadVariables() function instead of the
loadVariablesNum() function.
