Hi,

I have a button in my game that closes it, the whole game and torque window. I would like to show a webpage right after the game closes. Does anyone know a code for this?

thanx very much.

    Simply override onExit and call gotoWebPage.

    package MyPackage
{
    function onExit()
    {
         gotoWebPage( "http://www.foobar.com" );
         Parent::onExit();
    }
}

activatePackage( MyPackage );

    Depends a bit on how myform.php does the parameter passing. If it passes them through the URI (like with www.yp.com/myform.php?arg1=val1&arg2=val2) you can still simply use gotoWebPage. This scenario is the most likely one.

    If the parameter passing happens "in the background" through the HTTP request, you could use Torque's HTTPObject to do it.

    NB: For the password stuff, you probably wouldn't want to be passing as plaintext.
