Hello,

I’m working on getting Flash to work with database data, and I thought via PHP would be a good idea. I have a PHP script which downloads a value from the database, shows it, and then updates it. It works fine in HTML. But I want the data to appear in Flash, and I’m having problems with communicating between the two. I don’t know how to call the PHP file exactly, and how to make it do it’s work. Could anyone help me? I’m a beginner in ActionScript so that might be the difficult part for me.
