Loading a variable into flash from PHP

programming
1

Hello,

I originally posted this at Flashkit but I never got a response from them. Could somebody help me out with this. [font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2] I have a simple (I hope) question for all of your php and actionscript programers out there. I want to beable to load a variable from a php script into my flash like the following. On my first frame in my flash movie I have


flash = 1;
loadVariables("variables.php", 0, "GET");

then, on my 20th frame, I have this script:
[/size][/font]


if (flash == 1) {
 gotoAndPlay (5);
} else {
 loadMovieNum (flash, 1);
 stop ();
}

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2] the if (flash == 1) is just to make sure that the variables.php file has loaded and if it hasn’t then the value will still equal 1 until the variables from the file are loaded.[/size][/font]


<?php
$flash = "sound.swf";
$flash = "&flash=$flash";
?>

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]
[/size][/font][font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2] Shouldn’t all of this together load the value of sound.swf for flash, thus loading sound.swf into layer 1 of my movie? When I load it onto my server, (I do have php on there) it just loops the movie back to frame 5 and keeps playing it. The value of “flash” doesn’t change at all. Can somebody help me with this and lead my through this challenge? Any help would be apreciated!

Thanx![/size][/font][font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]
