Variables from php

[iambaz]

Hi,

I have a swf file embedded in a php file. In the file, I am declaring a couple of variables in php. Is there any simple method of reading these variables into actionscript variables?

Cheers.

you could look at using the flashvars parameter in your embedded swf code, check this http://www.macromedia.com/support/fl.../flashvars.htm

Depends on when you're reading the variables in. On load? After a user does something with the Flash movie?

If it's on load, you can use php to embed the file with the variables

print "<embed src=\"flashMovie.swf?var1=$phpVar1&var2=$phpVar2\" height=\"100\" width=\"200\">";

In this example, you're passing your PHP variables named phpVar1 and phpVar2 into Flash, where they would be named var1 and var2, which you could then use as you wanted.
