hello I am mseerob and I got a question…
I read this tutorial.
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_mysql.htm
I would like to say that this tutorial is very interesting to read but I was in fact having problems with this. I’ll explain what I have done…
I already have apache server installed so that is not a problem. Now in my php page I have named it test.php. In the php page I added the following code.
<?php
//The value of $x would be printed to the screen but the SWF would not read the data
$x = “abc”;
print $x;
//The value of $x would be printed to the screen and because of the prefix ‘myVar=’, the SWF will //interpret this as being the intended value for the variable myVar in the SWF
print “myVar=$x”;
?>
Just like the coding that was putted in the tutorial. After that I made a new flash file and named it test.swf as well and saved it in the same folder as the test.php. Now in the flash file, I made a dynamic text field and named the variable ‘myVar’ (Didnt put the quotes in) Then I added the same exact code stated in the tutorial and it didnt work at all. In the textfield movie clip I added the following code…
onClipEvent (load) {
//assuming you have a personal web server and PHP installed locally
loadVariables(“test.php”, this, “GET”);
}
Then I went into my folder and opened up the test.swf file and it didnt work. I was wondering if there was a file that I could download cause perhaps there is something that I am missing. If anyone can reply back I would really appreciate it a lot. Thank you very much
