Greetings Forum,  
I actually posted this thread in Flash 2004 mx. I thought maybe I can get some help over here.

I have a simple button in a swf file that I am trying to get to load a php page into the browser. Simple right?? Well my button wants to open a new window and go to the actual .com website. I know I am suppose to load variables somewhere but I don’t know where. I have looked at a lot of tutorials but I can’t seem to make any sense out of them. Here is my code…

The as for my button is…

on (release) {  
loadVariables("&email=$s\_email","\_parent",“POST”);  
getURL(“jobseekeroptions.php”,0,“POST”);  
}

Here is the php code that I am trying to communicate with…

\<?php  
include ("…/config/config.inc");  
// start session and bring in session variables  
session\_start();  
// forward to login page if the session is not valid  
if(!isset($s\_email))  
{  
header(“Location:jobseeker\_menu.php”);  
exit();  
}  
@$link = mysql\_connect(SYSTEM,USERNAME,PASSWORD);  
mysql\_select\_db(DATABASE) or die( “Unable to select database”);  
$query = “Select \* from booth where email=’$s\_n\_email’”;  
$result = mysql\_query($query);  
if(!$result)  
{  
echo “Error - Could not get Job information from database.”;  
mysql\_close();  
exit;  
}  
$resoption = $row[‘resoption’];  
header(‘location:$resoption’);  
?\>

Someone please help me!!! I really need to get this thing to work.
