Passing values to SWF on runtime

(Do I have to mention that I feel stupid for asking this because I know I saw something about this subject at some point but can’t seem to find the entry anymore?)

Hello! A quick rundown:

** Setup:**
2 iframes (one has a php-generated list, the other my swf)

** So this is what I want to do:**
Clicking on an item in the list has to pass info to the SWF file without reloading it.
I think I heard / read that this is possible with JavaScript.

Thing is, it needs to be quick… hence the “JavaScript / no reload” approach. Otherwise I was thinking to just have the PHP-iframe reload itself when clicked and create something like a server-side cookie (a tiny text file with the choice) and have the SWF check for that file.

That would mean I could avoid using JavaScript (simply for security / compatiblity reasons) but it would be slower responding sind I wouldn’t want to let the SWF check more often than once every 10 seconds or so (server load, etc).

Any idea or pointers on how to approach this problem? Just in general- but if you want I could also post code… only that I am in a pre-coding phase, still :slight_smile:

Thank you, everyone! :smiley:
