Load 1 Variable into Flash?

[Morbius]

Trying to do something that SHOULD be simple, but just isnt' going.

Just need to get 1 variable to go into Flash MX. The goal is to get a number into Flash so it will display a certain amount of items.

I have 3 files.

test.php ---------------

<?php
echo "&FromPHP=400&";
?>

index.htm-------------

<object classid="clsid😃27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="test.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="test.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="400"></embed></object>

test.swf---------------

This is where the problem is. In the main timeline I have 2 layers, 1 frame.

• Layer 1 is an action script
  loadVariables("test.php", 0, "POST");

• Layer 2 is a Dynamic Text box (black text / white background) with the Var: field set to "FromPHP".

Obviously this doesn't work. Been around the net looking for a simple answer, always getting complex answers.

Any help would be great.

your php file looks like its results are constructed properly. your actionscript looks really suspect:

loadVariables("test.php", 0, "POST");

I would encourage you to read the documentation on the loadVariables function. the 2nd argument that you pass to that command should be an OBJECT which gets 'filled up' with the results of your query.

you should probably posty at macromdia.com for better info on this particular problem.
