Send to PHP

Is there a way to write over a PHP variable from Flash MX 2004 Pro? 😕

I don't know if you need mroe info than that... but yeah...

Thanks in advance.

I'd have to guess what you are asking actually. Sure, in Flash you could change/overwrite a var but then it's not PHP...it's Flash.

Using Flash to interact with PHP the same way it might interact with javascript isn't going to happen.

If I guessed at what you meant properly. 😉

Well I mean I want to have an inventory for an RPG and store each object (like sword_obj) inside invent_X (X is a number) so when you "log out" or leave, your inventory has been saved and can be accessed at a later time...

You would have to post the data to a php script to save it in a db or file. You can use javascript to achieve that, but I don't know nothing about flash scripting so don't ask me how to get it to call a javascript function.

Dang this is more complicated than I thought. Any hints of people or places that I could find out what kind of Javascript I'd need to use to achieve this?

From what I see, FSCommand would be the appropriate actionscript to use. You would create a javascript function, say, PHP_Post, that takes each input as a value. Then you'd use FSCommand("PHP_Post", "VALUES"), parse it through the script, and send it to the script.

As for the javascript itself, W3 should have enough information to cobble together something that works. Within, I'd simply use a redirect with something like:

location.replace("http://the.page.here/the.php?arg1=".$arg1......)

Just an idea.

Sweet, OK, I'll check it out

How would I get the Javascript function?

I know how in HTML but what exactly do you do in Flash to have something in Javascript?
