The following script works OK but as you can see, if you read the comments,
it feels all wrong. I just want to create a generic script that returns
whatever value I'm returning from the DB. Does the question make sense? Is
there an approach that I might use? As always, thanks for any ideas.
function getData(tableName, studentID, varName) {
formData = new LoadVars();
formData.tableName = tableName;
formData.studentID = studentID;
formData.variableName = varName;
replyData = new LoadVars();
replyData.onLoad = myOnLoad;
function myOnLoad(success) {
if (success) {
// return(this.returnValue);
// return above doesn't work for me because of
timing issues
// I think. Setting a global variable below DOES
work
// but I don't want to have to have a huge list of
// variables. Is there a wait loop syntax that would
// allow me to return without setting a global like
// I did below?
if (this.returnName == "notes") {
_global.notes = this.returnValue;
_level10.noteDisplay.text = _global.notes;
}
} else {
trace("No return values from the ASP page.");
}
}
formData.sendAndLoad(_global.dataPath+"dataGetter.asp", replyData,
"post");
}
