I know there has been a lot of talk about php and flash, and I have tried my best to sort out what I need to know but to no avail - I can't do anything with the two at all, and am feeling stupid. I have looked at various tutorials (the ubiquitous login/save movie clip location as well) and I have tried to make my test as dumb proof as possible, but it still doesn't work.
I created a php file called "var.php" which has the bare bones elements of a php file - opening and closing html, body and php tags. All the <? php code ?> is doing is setting a variable "$gmt=8;" (no quotes)
My flash file is using a simple "loadvariablesnum("var.php?gmt="+gmt, "0")
This doesn't work. The only thing I have been able to figure out is that for some reason it can't find the variable $gmt. If the var.php only contains the line "gmt=8" that 8 will be loaded correctly into the dynamic text field (forgot to mention that) the text field is labeled "gmt"
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gordon
