Chapter 13. Server and CGI Communications

The World Wide Web is the foundation for communicating with the rest of the world over the Internet. Most of the Web is made up of HTML pages with other technologies, such as Flash movies, embedded in them. These Flash movies can communicate with the server where the page is being hosted, just like HTML can, to achieve very interesting effects. Thanks to the Web your Flash games can communicate with server programs to do many things such as saving high scores and other records.

Following is the list of topics I'll cover in this chapter:

  • Exporting HTML

  • Browser communication

  • CGI scripts

  • Sending info to the server
