Hello,
I need some help. I have a flash input screen with text field and a flash
variable that stores the text field info. I need to get the info and store
it into a vb variable to use within vb.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

vbspinner

Just a guess, but I doubt you'll be able to make this happen. However,
you'll probably have more luck asking in a Flash group. See if you can find
out if Flash can even do interprocess communication. If so, perhaps you
could open a TCP socket between it and your VB app.

But don't hold your breath....

Why not just write it out to a text file from Flash and read it in with VB?
Simple and effective.

I thought about that, but then I didn't know if Flash had that kind of
access to the file system.

I use SwishMax for creating my flash. In the scripting I use

fscommand("whatever string")

in my flash script, and inside my VB Form, I use the Shockwave
object fscommand event to capture all the commands sent by the
Flash file. To send variables back to the Flash component, you can
use the VB command

FlashObjectName.SetVariable("VariableName","VariableProperty")

There are plenty of tutorials available on the internet that give step-by-step
instructions.
