Re: FLASH: Totally baffled...help please

[Phil Ward]

Hi Helen,


Thanks for taking a look at the problem...I will try your suggestions... the

misplaced label was unintentional, well spotted, I have been going around in

circles with this problem...code blindness is creeping in.


I feel that there must be another problem though as the *check variables are

loaded* part was a late addition..as previous versions without this didn't

work either....


I am trying to get the db guy to have the PHP page written as a plain.txt

file as I know this works fine if a plain.txt file is used as the source.


Maybe it's time for MM Generator to talk directly to the MySQL db and cut

out the PHP middleware...does seem to be overkill though!


If you have any other ideas please put me out of my misery and let me know.


Thanks again.
