I’m having problems with the Flash with PHP and mySQL tutorial.

One question I have…that’s not addressed…:

What if the text that I’m loading into the Frame is larger than the frame.  
I’ve attached a scroll bar to the frame…but it doesn’t do anything.  
Is it because the dynamic text box is converted to a movie clip?  
Or is it something to do with PHP?

What I’m trying to accomplish in the long run…is a TV Station web site that displays News highlights…via PHP…example: newshighlights.php…  
Then when the user clicks on one of these highlights…it would pull in the full story…via PHP…  
I’m not gifted (for lack of a better word) in PHP…but have a buddy that is, however, he has hardly set eyes on Flash.

All this has been accomplished with basic HTML and PHP…but I would love to use Flash and load content dynamicly into a window.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly apprecaited.

Um…

I don’t understand why you have to create another thread with the same question… You didn’t even answer my question on the last thread…

I think it will be whole lot faster if you upload what you have, if you have any, so far so that people can take a look at…
