ASP and Flash: Response.Write Problem?

I am trying to send values to Flash from ASP but it appears as though I can't concatenate a string variable with the explicit strings in the Response.Write, below is my code and output. Any ideas? Thanks.


ASP CODE: (getFlashVars.asp)

Option Explicit
Dim i
Dim thePics

thePics = "image2"

For i = 0 to 23
thePics = thePics & ",image2"
Next

Response.Write("&pics=" & thePics & "&")

FLASH CODE:

var myVar = new LoadVars();
myVar.onLoad = function(LoadStatus)
{
if(LoadStatus)
trace(this.pics);
else
trace("FAILURE");
}
myVar.load("getFlashVars.asp");

OUTPUT FROM FLASH DEBUG:
" <---That's it a quotation mark and a space



From the debugging I have done, it appears as though "&pics=" & is all that is being read and it is using the concatenation operator as the ending &.

If it matters, I am using Flash MX.

I found the problem. Thanks for all the help.

Hi Ryan,

I have exactly same problem you had. I spend 2 days and couldn't figure out why. Would you please kindly let me
know how you solve this?
I just want a simple solution to pass a log on user name from asp to flash, but it only load the ".
my asp code is:
<%
charpos = InStr(Request.ServerVariables("Logon_User"), "\")
user = Mid(Request.ServerVariables("Logon_User"), charpos+1)
user = UCase(user)
response.write ("&logname=" & user)
%>

my actionscript code is:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.load("security.asp");
myLoadVars.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
trace(this.logname);
}
else {
trace("Unable to load the Logname.");
}
};

Thanks in advance!

Hello.

Can you tell me how you solved this problem. Im facing similar situation.

Just make sure your ASP page is retrieved from server as script needs executing to produce expected response.

var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.load("http://myserver/myweb/flash/myasp.asp");
