Flash, PHP and ME

[dp_lewis]

Hi,

I am putting together a quiz show style game using Flash 4.

The back end is a MySQL database full of questions, with PHP producing a Flash friendly (I thought) text file full of variables.

The Flash movie has a preloader that sets a variable before calling on the PHP file. The PHP output then changes this variable so the movie knows when to move on (ie the questions have been loaded).

Now then, I have tested this under Win98 using both IE and NS and it works like a dream... I've just had it tested in WinME and it doesn't work... it also has trouble with a Mac

Has anyone else experienced similar problems???

I'm now going to pick over the FLA and see if I can see any stupid errors... grrrr

Hello,

This is going to annoy people but I've solved my own problem!

If it's of interest to anyone...

When I load variables into a flash movie I also send variables at the same time to ensure it is not a cached copy of the file I'm after. (I don't know if this is good practice).

When sending the variables under Win98 you seem to be able to use either GET or POST.. However, WinME seems to only like GET...
