Hello guys… i’m a little worried about this work that i have to do… I have a PHP system that generates some XML files for gallerys… each gallery has an XML file… like… the gallery 1 has the file gallery1.xml. Ok… I’ll have an index… with all the gallerys to choose, made in PHP… but… when you enter in a gallery… it will have an SWF that open the XML file of that gallery… like… i click on gallery one… and my URL address will be… [http://localhost/mysite/viewGallery?gallery\_id=1](http://localhost/mysite/viewGallery?gallery_id=1) (or any other number) i want to know what i need to do for my SWF file read this URL variable (gallery\_id) and open the right XML file… sorry for my bad english… and sorry if you don’t undertand what i need ☹
