Hi again.
Does anybody knows if it is possible to call an ASP page from a Director
movie and set the results into the .dcr?
It would be samething similar to the LoadVariables in ActionScript.
I'm getting problems with remote access to the data base and I think this
could be a solution.

Thank you and regards.

Read the docs for getNetText() and/or postNetText(). Also

Thank you for your answer Sean
It's a good reference page, but I'm still having problems and I can't find a
solution.
I use the following to connect with an ASP page:
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
infoList = ["pregunta_numero":pregunta_numero,
"pregunta_concello":pregunta_concello]
netID = postNetText("http://www.mydomainname.es/myaspfile.asp",infoList)
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The ASP file works perfectly if I call it from the URL and I asign directly
the values. It returns a string like this:
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#preguntaweb:�This is the question?#respuesta1:first
answer#respuesta2:second answer#respuesta3:third answer
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

But I have two problems.
In first place, I can't obtain anything from my postNetText.

When I use:
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
aString = netTextResult(netID)
-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I get aString = "" and netDone(netID)=0

That means that the "myaspfile.asp" has not being executed

The second problem is what to do with the returned result from the ASP? (in
case I solve the first problem, of course ;-)
How can I put each value in his variable?

This is really simple in Flash but I've never done it in Director and I
don't find any information about this.

Thanks again.

No it doesn't. It means the postNetText() call hasn't finished yet. Both
it and the GET equivalent are asynchronous operations, meaning you have
to wait (by looping on a frame, using a timeout object or the actorList)
for it to finish before accessing any results.

Well, we've gotten it!!!
The problem was not to wait but the way of waiting.
I had made a loop like this:

--+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
repeat while netDone(netID)=0 then
nothing
end repeat
--+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

but I only obtained an infinite loop. My workmate solved it by using a
simple: _movie.go(_movie.frame)

Thank you very much Sean.

Regards from Spain.
