I was wondering if you could intagrate HTML coding into Flash MX. I want to be able to write PHP directly into my Flash, and PHP is basically HTML. This would save a lot of time with coding and pulling and pushing information, which will take a lot less time.
I was thinking there would be a way in ActionScript, but I havn’t found a way yet.

How was it that you were writing php directly into Flash?

That’s impossible, unfortunately.

php is server-side scripting, flash action script is client-side scripting. That’s the difference.
It’s possible to communicate between the two of course -\> call a php script from within flash ( getUrl() function ), and i believe that there are flash/swf libraries for php (look at [www.php.org/manual](http://www.php.org/manual) ).
hope it helped you make things clear, and that i understood your question 🙂
