please help: flash & php simple question...

[FlashArrow]

I know this must be simple but it is escaping my mind.

on frame 1, I have a flash input form for last name and zip code.
Then I send the variables to a php file which checks against a database to see if the user exists.

What I need:

I need php to send back a variable telling flash whether the user exists and if so, to move to frame 2.

Please help me figure out how to do that.
Your help is much appreciated. I am trying to finish a wedding website with an RSVP function to it.

Thanks.

Send the data to the PHP script using a LoadVars object. Use the function sendAndLoad(), and have the targetObject be the LoadVars object.

You can then create a function like this.

code:

---

LoadVarsOb.onLoad = function( success ){

   if( success ){

      if( this.Data == 1 ){

         gotoAndStop(2);

      }

   }else{

      //Do something.  Failed to send data.

   }

}

---

The php script would need to do a print "&Data=1"; if the user exists and print "&Data=0"; if the user doesn't exist. You may need to put quotes around the 1 in the if statement.

Thank you, that worked great.

Now I am having problems bringing the variable that the php script sent back.

It spits back a number, and I want to goto frame 2 and display that number in a dynamic text box. I can't seem to get the resulting number to come over to frame 2.

Doesn't the imported variable reside in the entire timeline of the MC and not just the frame?

Any suggestions anyone???

Anybody?

Alright.

Me dummy!

I forgot to set the text fields to embed all characters, so the variables weren't displaying.

Sorry. Carry on... Nothing to read here...
