sendAndLoad problems.

Hello,

I have developed an online test with 5 sections. Each section is one scene in the Flash movie. I am using Flash 8. At the end of each section there is a button the user presses to go to the next section. The action in the button is:

on (release) {
myData2.sendAndLoad("Newprocesstest.asp", myData2, "POST");
myData2Test.sendAndLoad("GradeTest.asp", myData2Test, "POST");
_root.gotoAndPlay("StartSection3Intro");
}

The first sendAndLoad is executing fine. But, the second one (Gradetest.asp) either doesn't execute at all (in all 5 sections) or it executes inconsistently--ie for one user it executed for sections 1 and 2, but not for the other 3 sections. I don't understand why this is working so inconsistently and only seems to be executing sometimes.

I have verified the asp file is working correctly as I can run it from a browser manually.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

I think you need to post more of your code. Do all 5 buttons have the same code? Do you create a holder to return content into? Do you test if the variable has been loaded etc?

I assume your problem comes from overwriting the myData2 and myData2Test because your telling the sendAndLoad to add its return data back to the same object. Try sending those to a separate object.

for example



Its also possible that you are going to the next section too soon before the send/receive has completed. Remember that this action doesn't execute as quickly as the actionscript on the page instead it has to connect to your script, execute the script and then wait for something to return.

I recommendu using the onLoad callback to find out if the data load was successful and only then should you go on to the next section.
