Hi…  
I am making an application wherein i will need to send the properties of shapes to a text file. That is, its x, y, xscale, yscale, rotation etc. Now the thing is, there could be any number of such shapes. And then, i also need to retrieve those values to redraw them onto the stage.

So how do i go about it? i mean do i create a new loadVars() instance for each shape and send it to the php file? Will that not create a separate text file for each shape??  
And how do i get those variables back into the swf? Do i create just one loadVars then or do i create a new loadVars for each shape? How will i know how many to create if there is a separate text file for each shape??

I’m very new to php so i have only a theoretical understanding of how it works. I only need to do the AS part of it.
