tinyurl

I'm sitting with a problem where I need to pass more than 2000 characters from my Flash application to an HTML page which reads the information and displays the correct options made in the Flash app the person came from.

All's good but on the final stage, when the user needs to post their choices to a form, the character cannot be sent because the string is too long.

Is there a way to use a service such as Bitly or TinyURL to send these long string and for them to be "deconstruction" on the other end when the form is sent?

Otherwise, is there another solution to this problem?

Many thanks!
