Flash editing , templalte editing in PHP

arora3

Hi,
I am just a new learner of PHP. And my question might sound kiddish to lot of you experinced ppl. But still, I need to ask someone. I will appericiate your help.

OK, My question is :
How to edit Flash using php.
I mean

go to www.vSplash.com choose a country and then enter a name and email id (fake name and fake id would work). Now just go thru step 1 and step 2 of creating website(dont need to go thru all of them).
note: flash and java enabled browser needed.

Presuming you have seen that. I want to make a similar site in which people can edit flash templates like in this vSplash site. But I cant figure out how to go ahead with it. I am newbie php learner and I m learning MySQl too. Would do flash soon too.

Can anyone pleae help me with this ? My question is very broad and kiddish I know. I am sorry for being stupid, but I am newbie and thus I have newbie problems . therefore, please help me mature in this field.

Thanks

Too many (advanced) questions, but I'll have a bash at introducing the wonders of flash & php.
Some basic knowledge of forms/html is required.

One way is: Lets say you make a form where people can choose
- a background colour (red)
- a font type (arial)
- choose an image (sun)
how you do this in html is up to you, as long as when the submit
the form the following is passed along (try using method="get" first
in your form so that you can ctually see the variable sin the URL)

Once the form has been submitted, the url will be something like:
www.mysite.com/edit.php?bgcolor=red&font=arial&image=sun
these values must now be stored somewhere e.g in a databas, a text file etc.
this file must then be linked to a user/site. When the flash file is opened, is must
be scripted to open the DB or text files and read out the variables value and place
them in the variable holder in the flash file....

phew way too much other stuff but this should gte you started in the right direction
