If I’m trying to send $\_GET data from PHP to Flash, so that the info loads into a dynamic text box. How do I go about this?

I’m assuming that in the PHP file I must retrieve the $\_GET info …

\*$name = $\_GET[‘name’]; // Retrieve and assign to a variable  
print “users\_name=$name&”; //Send the info to Flash

\*Is this correct?

How do I then retrieve this info inside flash??

I would really appreciate some help. Thanks :thumb::thumb:
