RE: FLASH: PHP - returning vars to flash

[TR Henigson]

For example: let's return values for three variables with a PHP script.


<?PHP


$number=7;

$string="A short string";


$output="number=".$number;

$output.="string=".urlencode($string);

$output.="scriptFinished=1";


echo $output;


?>


In your Flash movie, set up three frames.

Frame1: Set scriptFinished=0 and Load the vars from the PHP script

Frame2: blank keyframe

Frame3: If(not scriptFinished) then goto and play _currentframe-1

.

.

.

the rest of your movie


It's important not to try and do anything with the variables returned

by the PHP script until they've all been loaded. That's what the

scriptFinished variable is for. This of course assumes you are calling

the PHP script from a frame action. You could do it from a button, in

which case you'd want to disable the button after it is pressed until

the PHP script returns so it doesn't get called twice.
