Re: PHP4, Flash and tab characters

Change your output string to look like &bAcquired=Y& and you should be ok. You may find as you get further into this that you need a delay loop to make sure that flash has read all of your data, since it happens asychronously (at least in Flash 4 it did) so you'll want a sentinel value at the end: &bAcquired=Y&ok=1& in the flash movie, set ok=0 and wait/loop until you see ok=1 and you'll know the data reading is complete. (This may have been fixed in Flash 5, but I haven't tested it). - Tim http://www.phptemplates.org > The string getting returned looks like so (currently it's just the 1 variable): > > &bAcquired=Y > > Flash's debugger seems to think that there is a tab character after the > 'Y', so in the debugger, the variable bAcquired looks like so: > > Y\t
