PHP variables into Flash - Alternative?

[ljmks2]

Hello everyone!

I'm working on a game for my company (if I may call it like this). You have two M&M's talking... The point is that you type text to "clouds" and the one with the most creative text will win the competition,...

Anyway. I was able to save this text to mysql database. But I have problems with displaying the results. Somewhere you should have a list of all entries and when you click on one, SWF (Flash) file should be called with parameters (text1 and text2).

I saw that there is a way to do this with TXT file in which you put variables in, but this won't be good since there might be many users on the site at the same time, wanting to view this and we all know, that it's impossible to read/write to the same file more than once at the time.

HELP ANYONE??

Thanx,
Lenart

I have the same f. problem ... you've solved the problem ?

Yes I've solved it... it's not exactly what i wanted, but anyway.

Solution:

In flash you create dynamic text with name "text1" for example. And you store this text somewhere (in database), ok?

Then when you want to load this you should open a page which contains definition for flash file, with parameters you want to see.

eg:

results.php?text1=whatever

Flash will automaticaly grab variable text1 and display it in dynamic text field called text1.

I hope i was clear enough... if not, mail me.
