The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

pass variables with Javascript getURL: Flash to ASP to Flash

Asked by isabelstripes in Macromedia Flash

Tags: , , , ,

I am going to clarify some more on this question and add some stuff I tried..


I have a getURL function in my flash movie(print.swf) which calls on Javascript to open a popup window with another flash movie(samples.swf) in it...the pop window works great but now I need to pass a variable as well.

The global variable(samples) is declared in print.swf (which is on level 2 if that matters) and the button is pressed a value is assigned to it.

Ideally,  I want the variable be passed to the the next movie(samples.swf...which is embeded into an ASP file.) and then go the appropriate frame and start playing based on that variable. (frames labels in samples.swf are the same as the assigned values).  I do not know how to do this through Javascript and ASP.  I am very new to Flash and am extremely limited with Javscript so this has been very painful for me.   I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Am I missing anything in my ASP page?

Also i discovered that the Javascript needs to be on my LEVEL 0 HTML file not my level 2 HTML file. Does this level 0 file need to also be ASP?

 Below I have put my action script and javascript.

*Note:  fsCommand does not work with IE on Mac. I am in the  graphic design field so many potential employers will be on a mac.  I would like it function on most browsers on both mac and pc.

Thank you

newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);}
