Hi there,
I am wondering what I should be looking for (search-wise even) in order to do the following:
I have a flash movie that needs to change the image(s) which are displayed in the swf based on variables from an external file.
ie. – If line1 in thisfile.txt = blue - show a.jpg - else if line1=red - show b.jpg –
This must happen server side, and will take place when the movie is loaded to the browser. Any images already exist in the movie and do not have to be generated on the fly.
After pouring over these forms and my MX books, I don’t even know where to start! I’ve used external text files and PHP/mySQL to populate text areas in a swf, but this is NOT what I’m trying to do.
I’m totally keen on learning how to do this, it would be so useful to me - can anyone please point me in the right direction? Am I looking for gaming tutorials, php/xml ideas, actionscript, generator?
Thanks for ANY ideas! - btw this forum rocks.
