DTML/Zope AND Flash

[cprice404 at my-deja.com]

You should be able to use a dtml document--we've
done it on several occasions.  One problem that I
have had in the past is that it seems that the
dtml document can't have any carriage returns in
it.  So what I've had to do on several occasions
is use 2 dtml docs... so let's say that I have a
doc1 and doc2 and the flash client makes it's
request to doc1.  Here is an example of what those
docs might look like:

doc1:
************************************************
<dtml-call doc2><dtml-var result>
************************************************

doc2:
************************************************
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('result', '')">
<dtml-in someZQLMethod>
	<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('result', result +
'var=value&')">
</dtml-in>
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('result', result +
'end_of_vars=1'">
************************************************

You will obviously need to muck with the part
inside of the dtml-in but this general structure
has worked for us on several occasions.

I think the main problem is that many of the
<dtml-call>'s or <dtml-in>'s that you make in your
dtml doc will throw some whitespace into the
output, and as soon as the flash client receives a
blank line it thinks it's reached the end of it's
input.

Hope that helps.

Chris
