Hi,

I want to update a dynamic textfield in AS3 by loading file.xml. This is working fine when loading the swf offline or online. The “?cache=” bit and date and time here below are there to insure that the cache is emptied and the xml is reloaded.

AS3 code  
///  
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“[http://www.xxx.com/maps\_test/file.xml](http://www.xxx.com/maps_test/file.xml)” + “?cache=” + new Date().getTime());  
loader.load(request);  
///

However, when embedding the SWF in a PHP page requiring SQL identification (using mysql\_pconnect), the SWF animation still plays correctly but file.xml is not loaded anymore and the textfield does not update.

Any idea why that is? Do I need to authorize the data from file.xml to be sent through PHP as well because of the previous SQL identification request? Any tips on the code I should use or tutorials?
