Mysql -> Flash

[pGrim]

I have a table in mysql (date, header, body, and image, which is the name of an image file on the server).

I need flash to fetch this data and put it in the movieclip. But how..?!

Anyone good at this?

Yes, I'm aware that I have to use .php. Could you help me out a little more?

Half the battle here is finding a server that supports php and offers you a MySQL database, or installing it all on your own machine to test it. If, however, you've managed to do this alright here are some tutorials that will help you out:

Introduction to Flash and PHP
Flash,PHP and MySQL integration
Using PHP with Flash and MysQL

And if that doesn't help, a good forum search will bring up anything you need to know.

Thanks Nosta|gia

No problem. www.actionscript.org and www.kirupa.com are both great resources. You should always check there and run a google search for tutorials on what you want before hitting the forums. I can garantee you'll save yourself a lot of time.
