[Question] ActiveX > Action/Condition/Expr Output

[RaiFox]

I'm trying to work out how to get a flash to send MMF2 variables, I poked around the ActiveX object and found the "Action/Condition/Expr Output" set of expressions, the manual makes it sound as tho this is how to get replies out of actions such as variables and the arguments of FSCommands.

But using the expression gives the following:

ParamAsStr$( "Shockwave Flash Object", > Enter string here <, > Enter string here <)

I'm unsure what to put into the two string areas.

Does anybody know?

Hi RaiFox!

I used this once, and it was very helpful. This is what I remember, maybe it isn't accurate. Neither it is my english but i'll try:

Some ActiveX controls have events that return data in variables that are referenced as arguments. Something like this:

name_of_the_event(variable_that_will_keep_event_re lated_data)

With ParamAsStr$ you can recover these variables, and you need to specify:
1. The MMF object
2. The name of the event
3. The name of the variable

So it would be something like this:

ParamAsStr$( "Shockwave Flash Object", "name_of_the_event", "variable_that_will_keep_event_related_data")

I only used it with events, I don't know if it works with the methods too.

Greetings!
