transfer variable value in a php file for Flash

sebes

Hello everybody,

My problem is the following :

I've downloaded a MP3 flash player that use a php file to find the mp3 files names.

How can I pass variables to this php file in order to get the directory name from my database (for the moment, i must put the directory name explicitly in the php file and cannot use the ID of a element in order to make a database query)?

I've tried to use an include method, but the php mustn't be included in another...

Thanks for your future replies.

Greetings

I'm confused as to how the PHP script is interacting with your Flash file. If PHP is generating the page with the Flash file in it, you can add a query string to the URL of the Flash file, like so: www.something.com/folder/yourfile.swf?directoryname=foo

I think this only works in the latest version of Flash.

Sorry, I must have got you a little bit confused (my native language is french)

I'll try to get a bit clearer :

My problem is the following :

I'm using a php file in order to parse information that is sent to a flash mp3 player (using loadnumvars() or something like that). I've only the flash movie in .swf and the php file that is used to send information to it.

Want i want to do is to dynamically get a music directory and use it in the flash movie.

For the moment, the php use the $gDirectory as the directory variable.

For the moment, i must specifiy in the file

$gDirectory = "sound/directory_name"

What i want is to allow a dynamic value to this variable... i've tried to use a session variable with the session_register() function
... (i.e. session_register($rep_name) where $rep_name is the name of the music repertory i want to be listed in the flash player.)

So, i thought i could then wrote $gDirectory = $rep_name in the php file... php functions work all the same, but informations doesn't seem to be sent anymore to the flash mp3 player (but it worked when i tried to put $gDirectory = "rep_name" in the php file...)

I don't know if i'm clear enough... just say to me if you want more informations.
