How to get informations from captivate

Question

Hi, I'm a french developper and I created a swf bar with
flash for captivate.
It works and I can control my swf (play, return ...)
Now, I wish to show informations on my bar (name of the
movie, etc ...)
I know something :
When you create a new movie in captivate, you can write some
informations (name of society, email etc ...) in the property of
the project. A button (Information) in the control bar can show
these informations in a popup.
Can I get these informations with variables to use it ???
Regards.

Right so you have a field, the user types in a customer Id for insatnce, presses tab and the block fills up with that customers data.
So the problem here is that EXECUTE_QUERY is restricted. It is restricted because it will do things like, validate the record and if there are outstanding changes, prompt you of you want to commit.
So in your scenario, if execute_query DID work you'd then have a problem because you've just maked a record as changed by typing into it, and so you'd have to commit or rollback before the execute_query could work.
Anyway that is simple to get around by putting the field that the user entered the ref into into a non base table block.
The standard way to get a restricted build-in to work from somewhere like a validation trigger is to create a timer of 1ms duration and then execute the query (or whatever) on the when timer expired trigger - to the user it will look instantanious.
