Flash as front end, PHP as back end?

[Anon]

Hi,

Can i use php syntax as back end, while show the data using Flash? I am totally no idea to Flash programming.

If it is workable, is there any good example I can learn on?

thanks
Louis

Haven't seen any examples that let you view code. You want to wait a few weeks I can show you a PHP server process that feeds data to a desktop client over TCP.

But if you want that kind of functionality, you better get into Flash5 pronto man.
It's really not that hard, it's just like javaScript and it's Object Oriented.

You can get form values in flash via their regular API methods. check out http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dynamic_Content/
for more info. They have some neat tutorials on how you can work with any backend piece of code. ASP, PHP included.

Much simpler way to do it... you can feed data into flash like this I think flash.swf?parm=value

etc... flash can return values from inside it's self to php with eitehr POST or GET

Flash has a loadvariables function:

loadVariables ("file.php", this);

this will execute the php file "file.php" now what you need to do is print the php output that you want to use in flash like this:

echo "var1=value1&var2=value2&var3=value3&etc...";

this will load the variables var1, var2 and var3 in the Flash mc (movieclip) where the piece of code is nested (this).

Now u can use the variables in the flash movie.
