Re: FLASH AND PHP

If you are wanting to use pregenerated FLASH scripts ( and not build them on the fly with libswf or ming) then what you want to do, without having to buy Generator for your server is... In the beginning of you falsh file, do a load variables from a PHP page, that queries a database or whatever, gets the data, and echoes it out to the FLASH file in the format expected by load variables. Tack on a variable at the end called loadDone and set it to 1 (or true) In flash, you have to put in a loop in the second frame, or after the loadvariables command, that checks to see if loadDone==1, to make sure that all the variables have loaded. You cannot assume that the variables will load within a certain time period. If they don't, the rest of your scripts will break. That, is how you can pass a lot of dynamic information into your flash file, without the use of server side generator install from macromedia.
