Loading php file into Flash MX movie

programming
1

Hello!

I have a link database based on mysql/php3.
To display the links, you normally just open
the php-file in your browser.
Now, I want to display this linklist in Flash.
I tried to load the php file into my movie according the tutorial about “mysql/php and flash” but it didn’t work.

That is the link database I want to use:
Linkster from studio dreamdolphin

Does anyone have an idea how I can load the
linkster.php into flash so that it is being displayed the same way as in a browser?

Thank you very much for your help!

Cheers
Saint

You need to make lots of mods to that script, as you can’t “load it” into Flash, what Flash does is call it and then expects to be sent variables. Then, it’s up to you to create an swf with everything necessary to use/display those variables…

It’s a very nice script and i can think of ways i could use it to output an xml file, coz that’s what i’m using at the moment as link “database”…
You can view the original developpers example here:

and get the files on the main page in “open source”…

Ill let you know if i ever get enuff time to do that…next year maybe :slight_smile:

many thanks for your help and sorry for the late reply…:sigh:

I am not so experienced in the whole matter (php/mysql). Think I have to look for another possibility to create my link database and my gbook.

But then I have to use pop up windows and the whole thing is not completely in flash.

anyway.
thxs again for your help and the link to yr helpful site…
