Hi,
Being a novice user of PHP and Flash I have no idea about where I am going wrong! :-/
I want to pass a PHP variable to load in a dynamic movie clip.
E.g I want to pass a user name from a postgress database to appear in the .swf file when loaded.
My PHP code is:
// ($myrowUN[0]) being the result of my query
$sendUserName = $myrowUN[0];
echo “&sendUserName=$sendUserName”;
My ActionScript code is:
// Placed in the movieclip
onClipEvent (load) {
GetUserName = new LoadVars();
GetUserName = function(success){
if(success){
this.sendUserName
}
else {
trace(“Sorry, Error logging your New Password”);
}
}
GetUserName.load(“[Newpassword2.php](http://172.31.96.219/proofdb/Newpassword2.php)”);
}
Any help would be much appreciated!

Try this 🙂
```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
GetUserName = new LoadVars();
GetUserName.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
trace(this.sendUserName);
} else {
trace("Sorry, Error logging your New Password");
}
};
GetUserName.load("Newpassword2.php");
}
```

Messed around with the code a little more yesterday and seem to have got it working with the following code:
PHP:
$sendUserName = $myrowUN[0];
echo “&sendUserName=”.$sendUserName;
Actionscript:
GetUserName = new LoadVars();
GetUserName.onLoad = function (success){
if (success){
UN = this.sendUserName;
}
else{
trace(“wrong”);
}
}
GetUserName.load(“NewPassword2.php”);
Thank’s a lot for your help - much appreciated!
