hey… im about to try to make a message board =) going to make it with flash php and mysql… the php and mysql parts i can manage just fine… but when it comes to the flash im hoping one of yall can help me =) my php output will look something like this… user=someone&titel=hello&message=hello world&date=today bla bla bal& now im gonna loop that out on the page for as many entries as there are… now for the flash part… i want to read all the information into arrays… question 1) how do i read the 4 variables into 4 different arrays… and what is the command for getting how many entries in an array ( so i know how many times to loop arrays onut onto flash text box) the output on the page will be something like posted by:someone title:hello message: blalbalbalblalba date posted :today bla bla posted by:someone1 title:hello1 message: blalbalbalblalba1 date posted :today bla bla1 i want to put all these messages in the same text box ( thinking that would be the best)… all the help i really need here is question 2) how do i get flash to jump down a line thought it was /n but that dont work … and putting html format on and using \ dont work eitrher =) question 3) and i want the title to be in bold. now im wondering if you can format just one word to be bold ex boldword=(whatever code is needed to make text string ‘big’ bold) word1=‘i like’ word2=‘butts’ done=(word1+" “+boldword+” "+word2); so done if placed in a text box would look lie i like **big** butts thanks //VoS
