  • 0

Is it possible to retrieve a GET variable within a PHP script and subsequently send the variable data to an SWF on the same script/document?

I want the user to select an item on a PHP document and then use a Flash application I am developing to manipulate that data.

I know how to load data from a PHP script into an SWF via URLLoader, but only by initiating the loading process from within the SWF. So, I am asking if it’s possible to send the PHP data to the SWF from external source. Would the SWF need to listen in some manner? Is Javascript necessary here?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    i believe you’re looking for flashvars. its basically a parameter for the object/embed tag that you put what looks like a querystring into. the querystring is then accessible through the flash object.
