Something like this, perhaps?

```auto

getURL("yourphpfile.php");

```

I think you do this something like this:

```auto

var lv = new LoadVars();
lv.whatever_you_want_to_send = x_value;
lv.sendAndLoad ("file.php", lv, "POST");

```

You may need to use AJAX in your html and ExternalInterface in Flash to call your AJAX function. Not much into Flash these days.

I actually found out you can use the xml object to load a php file! pretty neat and simple
