talking between flash and php

[windandwaves]

Hi Folk

I am new to flash (just so you don't think I am completely stupid)

I have a flash file that I want to execute a short action script and then
load a PHP file in the its own window, while posting some of the variables
to this new script:

e.g.
A
B
C
//below is where I get stuck
post variables:
x = 1;
y = 2;
open new url = 'test.php' with post variables
//end

in test.php I then want to be able to show those variables as follows:

<?php
echo $_POST["x"];
echo $_POST["y"];
?>

I have the ABC, but I need the correct syntax for the last few lines in
flash.

TIA

- Nicolaas

If you're sending the values with no regard for server response, you can append
the values to the URL in Flash using GET syntax:
www.site.com/page.php?x=1&y=2

If you need bidirectional communication, look into the Flash LoadVars and
LoadVariables objects.

HTH.

This is what I came up with in Flash:

stop();
var ses:string;

//create the local Shared Object
myLocalSO = sharedobject.ge tLocal("hookie" );

if(_root.destro y) {
myLocalSO.data. name = "destroyed" ;
}
else {
//if cookie already exists then get ses from cookie
if (myLocalSO.data .name.length == 32) {
ses = myLocalSO.data. name;
getURL("index.p hp", "_self", "GET");
}
//if cookie does not exist then make it
else {
//get parameter from query string (INPUT)
//if(_root.PHPSES SID){
// ses = _root.PHPSESSID ;
// getURL("episode .php", "_self", "GET");
//}
//if(ses.length <> 32) {
// ses = "testcookie " + getTimer()
//}
myLocalSO.data. name = _root.PHPSESSID ;
}
ses = myLocalSO.data. name;
getURL("voter.p hp", "_self", "POST");
}
