    Users To Dynamically Alter SWF

    Sorry if this has been asked before, I've been searching for quite a while trying to find an answer to this but no luck.
    Basically what I want to do is create a stage that has an input text that can be manipulated by the user in the browser online.

    Now what I want then, is for a button to tell the swf to update. So if someone updates the text, it'll now be visible to all on the net.

    What is the easiest way to achieve this? Are there any PHP tutorials for this sort of thing?

    Thanks for reading!

    Hi,

    basically you want
    - a php script to save the text to a file or database on the server
    - the movie to load text from the server

    Depending on context (e.g. for a chat situation), you might also want the swf to periodically reload the text; in other situations just users who happen to open the swf after the text change will see the new content
