Hi Guys,

I’m a total newbie at both flash and PHP, but I managed to create a flash website but my problem is this.

I want to place a textbox in the middle of my flash page which will call a .php file and place it into this textbox. Is this possible?

I’ve managed to call text from a text file into the box, but don’t know what parameters I need to add to the actionscript to get it to recognis the .php file and all its tags.

I have attached the .PHP file

Your help would be greatlly appreciated.

Jason

I can’t help with that second question but I think I should point out that as I understand it, you cannot get a textbox in Flash to read PHP tags [maybe you can if you do some ridiculous amount of AS coding :P]. It will only read the HTML tags and in order for it to do that, it needs to be HTML enabled (the textbox).

I’m hoping you already know this because you said in your first post that you have managed to get textboxes in Flash to read text from text documents.

Also, this tutorial may help but I can’t guarantee it because it mostly discusses Flash to PHP rather than vice versa:
