Flash MX and PHP variables

[flashman]

Hello,

im having trouble to do it. I have two fronts: one php file(getip.php), whitin i get the ip machine, and one swf file(ip.swf) - thats supposed tho show this ip at one dynamic text field. Here it follows...

<?php

$ip= $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

?>

And in Flash MX, i created one movieclip, whith two keyframes. At the first, on actions panel, i just put this:

loadVariables("http://mysite.com/getip.php", "this");

In the second i put the dynamic text, setting the variable to "$ip", and putting the "stop" action at the frame.

Then, i put the movieclip into the scene, and published the movie. Its not working.

Thanks for all,

i believe to use the load variables function with flash, the html has to be formatted correctly using php. so your end result should look like this:

ip=1.22.33.444

flash needs to see that format..
so with php , you would need to make something like this:

 <?php 

// define $ip
$ip= $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; 

// now print it the way flash likes to see it
echo "ip=$ip";
?>
