Gees, ive been away from flash for nearly 12 months now. And today ive spent over and hour trying to create a relatively simple clickable interface. A few buttons on a map which when clicked popup a php page which lists infomation from a database. Now im confronted with unecessarily complicated event handlers…All i wanna do is pass a string parameter from the button to my php script ARGH! I miss AS 1…
