i would like to have a textarea in a php page that when a button is clicked sends that information into a flash movie and update the text in a dynamic textfield.  
does anyone know how to do this, i thought it was quite straight forward but havent managed to sort it out. it works if i just send in another variable, but not from a form.  
here is my code… greatful for help!

php —  
\<textarea name=“homeTxt” vrows=“7” cols=“20” \>\</textarea\>

$home = $\_POST[‘homeTxt’];  
echo “&home=”.$home;

flash—  
myData = new LoadVars()  
myData.ref = this  
myData.load(“[http://localhost/test/fromPhp.php](http://localhost/test/fromPhp.php)”)  
myData.onLoad = function(succes)  
{  
if(succes)  
{  
trace (this.home);  
\_root.txtHome.text = this.home;  
}

```
        else { trace("Error loading data"); }
   }
```
