html to flash

[atlkhan]

I have this part of html tags which passes some inputs to application in the cgi-bin . Is it possible to transform that into flash actionscript code. I would appreciate if someone could help me with the trasformation code.

Thanks

<form action="/cgi-bin/matweb.exe" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="mlmfile" value="webmagic ">
<p>Magic square size (minimum is 3, maximum is 20):
<input type="text" size="2" maxlength="2" name="msize"></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </p>
</form>

I'm not sure what happens with exes, but normally you should use loadVariables(u rl,method); being the url "/cgi-bin/matweb.exe" in your case and method whiciever you want, GET or POST.

You got to get all the input textfields inside a holder movieclip with an instance name, like "form" for the sake of simplicity, wich acts as an html form, each textfield inside must have a variable name (that's like the name property in html). Then you gotta make a send button, put it an instance name like "send", then in the frame actions write this:

send.onRelease = function() {
   form.loadVariables("/cgi-bin/matweb.exe", "POST");
}
 

And that's all to it, but try it first, 'cause I don't know if/how it works with exe's.

Try this:

var postData = new LoadVars();
 
//Load up all the variables you want to POST
postData.formElementName = "Motoma";
postData.formElementPasswd = "$tup1dp@$$";
 
postData.send("/cgi-bin/matweb.exe", "_self","POST");
