Flash + PHP

rosskenny

I had someone set up a php registration system for a Web site. There is some Flash on the site and i discovered that the links used in the php docs don't work form getUrl in Flash. Anyone, know the proceedure to make a link such as
href="page.php4?id=<?php echo $id?>"
function from within a Flash swf?? How to pick up the PHP variables and how to send them??
Thanx...

You can't.

rosskenny,

you can pass variables from PHP script into Flash object as parameters of it. And then use that variables inside Flash file to create links or whatever.

Probably, it sounds not very clear. If you don't get the idea then let me know. I will come up with an example.

Thanx.
Sure, please give me an example. I am aware of loading the variable and using that to construct a url but the translation (Flash/PHP) is something i'm not familiar with.

Actualy, I am not completely sure what your problem is. What do you mean by "the translation (Flash/PHP)"?

I thought you don't knoq how to pass variables from a PHP page to Flash movie located on the same page.

One of the method is using GET parameters:

And then you can use _root.id variable inside your swf file.

For example, you can make a button to go to URL like that:

getURL("another_page.php?id="+root.id, "self");

Another way to get variables is to make a query with loadVariables. But this one is good to obtain some permanent data from the database or file. It is not suitable for current GET variables of the PHP script.

Thanx! That works fine. So much for those who said i couldn't be done....
