Hello, I have driving directions using google maps api and flex on a friends site. I am trying to be able to pass a variable from flex to a php file. Basically the flex version of the driving directions is more of a visual for customers, they also have the option of using a "printer friendly" (via a button) version which is javascript. Is there a way to pass the "From" field in the flex verson to the javascript version so they don't have to type in there starting(From) address again? I am new to flex and have little php experience, any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is my code from flex:
