Re: php arrays into flash

Jim, The key words are "implode" on the PHP side and "split" on the Flash side. Here's an example: The data is returned from PHP like so, after doing the connect, select, etc. to produce an array of 7 dates for back issues ... no claim that this is optimal code. if( $result && mysql_num_rows( $result ) >= 1 ) {

        while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )
        {
                 $arrdates[] = $row[ dtStory ];
        }
        $issuedates = implode( ",", $arrdates );
 } 

echo "issuedates=".$issuedates; and in Flash, as part of the LoadVars varGetDates.onLoad = function( success) callback is handled like so ... _root.arrIssueDates = issuedates.split( "," ); _root.dtDate = _root.arrIssueDates[0]; for (i=0; i < arrIssueDates.length; i++) { //load combo-display and data same in this case cboIssueDates.addItem(arrIssueDates[i],arrIssueDates[i]); } At 06:29 PM 7/7/2003 -0500, Jim McNeely wrote:

I know a lot more about php than about flash (which is probably sad) but does anyone know how to take info in an array and pass it into an array in flash? I think they have arrays, but the only thing I can seem to find in flash to get info from php is the loadvariable actionscript step. I looked around via google and I couldn't find anything within a reasonable time that seemed to answer this question.
