passing variables into php and back from flash 5

Hi guys, whatever... can someone please help me. I am trying to retrieve a counter value from PHP and trying to display it in flash 5. Also a some later stage, I will need to reset the counter, so I will need to send a value to a PHP script. I would appreciate a small code as example, or if someone could point me in the right direction.

thanks

I think if you use actionscript's loadVariableNum() to pull the counter variable into the Flash movie as a dynamic text variable, it will. Have the URL point to the page holding the PHP variable and make sure that it has no extra characters, returns, new lines, quotation marks, etc. And pass only one value from the page to the Flash movie (ie $count=44).
hth

you need to create a file called count.php? it dat, create a variable

lets say something like this

count=123234

ok, of course you can make that number dymamic, it doesnt matter as long as when it comes out its in that format

then using loadVariableNum(count.php, "0")

Load it with a button or something

make sure you have a dynamic field called count, and when the variable is loaded it should work!

or take this nice tutorial at phpbuilder. it helped me alot!
