Hi All

I just recently started reading about flash, and I dont really know to find this information. But assuming I got the php/mysql side taken care of, and I got the php to be outputting the var1=data1&var2=data2…

Is it possible to publish a SWF and then give it a query string, like SWF?id=123 so that the 123 can be passed into the php file, so when the flash calls the php, it would loadVariables with php?id=123

I hope my question makes sense. Any instructions to go about doing this would be really helpful!!

Thanks!
