Also, PHP's .SWF generating capabilities aside, PHP could also be used to generate included text on the fly - I forget the exact command, but I know you can define the contents of a variable from an external file in Flash. This would lend itself to updating a newsfeed or What's New blurb within a Flash file without having to recompile it from its .FLA source. -Andy -Original Message- From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] See http://php.net/swf and also http://www.opaque.net/ming -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yep, the Flash 4/5 LoadVariables function will let you call a PHP script that sends the data back as URL encoded variables.

[PHP] Upcoming wrox php/flash book?
I was searching for a Flash book today and ran across the following book, due to be released in September 2001: http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/bookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=190345016 0 It's entitled Foundation Php for Flash 5 Now, I've never heard of using PHP to control Flash and, given the different ways they work, can't see how it would even be possible. (I'm no flash expert, but I believe they have to be pre-compiled .swf files to be displayed in a web page.) Wrox.com has no mention of this book in their upcoming releases section and google didn't turn up any hits, either. (Amazon doesn't have the book listed in their DB) Does anyone know any more about this book (and what PHP is going to be doing with Flash?)? I'm more inclined to believe someone over at Barnes Noble goofed, but stranger things have happened. --kurt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(note the trailing 0 in the link above) Sorry for any confusion. --kurt -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
