Hi,

you could add some code to your php that adds a time stamp and all the HTTP_POST_VARS or HTTP_GET_VARS to a log file

coz like i want to know if the database has been sucessfully updated then reload it..?
i suppose i could create a variable that holds it's old data then compare the data recieved to see if it's different if not reload it..? seems a little clumsy..
also just curious if anyone has an example of the onclipevent data?
because it doesn't seem to work...
i load a file locally and it loads but the trace i put in the onclipevent doesn't come up.. neither do the actions...
and i know the file was loaded because i checked the variables..?

I don't use PHP I use ASP, but the concept's the same.

All you have to do is have the PHP page print out a little string for Flash to receive, like:

"jobDone = true"

Then, wherever you have the Flash Movie load variables to, put an onClipEvent(Data) action:

onClipEvent(Data) {
if (jobDone == "true") {
[DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO AFTER DATABASE IS UPDATED]
jobDone = "false";
}
}
