Flash and PHP?

[dickreuter]

I'd like to create a flash application that is connected to a database via PHP.

Table:
Filename Text
1.jpg This is John
2.jpg This is Kate
3.jpg This is XY

The Flash application should load the database, blend in file 1.jpg and how the corresponding text, then move on to the next picture etc. If anybody has any quick way of doing this it would be much appreciated.

not going to be that quick to do..

there's some slide shows around - I think thats what you need - somewhere on this guys site there's one: http://www.rabidgadfly.com/

basically you get your php to spit out an xml file containing nodes for each picture with the text , the Flash swf reads the xml and does its display thing

so Flash isn't directly reading the db - its much simpler that way
