Going out on a limb I would guess a security issue. Do you have code
examples of how you are communicating with PHP and what part seems to be
broken?

I am curious about this statement. Could you give more detail as to what
you are talking about?

No, there is no way to have a swf be both 7 and 8.

I have unfortunatley done a project that I have been working on for months. I
have been publishing my work for flashplayer 7. The problem is that now that I
have to incorporate flash's upload facility I therefore need to publish for
flash player 8. The problem arises because when I do, it creates a bug, and
some of my many dynamically created text boxes, now need to be html rendered,
which is firstly ruining the look of my piece,(but can be ammended) but more
importantly is also creating the problem that many of my other variables are
not being read by php???. Has anyone else experienced this problem.

I can't create many swf files and have them load into a main swf, because for
another annoyence when you do this you are unable to attach more movie clips to
the loaded swf... how lame. Anyway is there a way to publish sections of a swf
for flash 7 and other sections for flash 8???? or has anyone else experienced
this problem.??? thaks to any responders.

Right I've finished having what can only be describved as a mild heart attack.
The stress of hours of wasted time. anyway. The problem is that when you
publish in flash 7player send variables to a php script with strings described
as either '.text' or as '.htmlText' and it would send the variable as a text
string, but now in flash 8 you must use the syntax correctly .i.e. if you
describe a string as htmlText and you try to send that string to php it will
send it as html, rather than just a string as it does in flash 7. Therefore
when your php comes to read that string it readsit as html and not a as the
string variable you had wanted, therefore mcking it all up. Anyway incase
anyone else has that problem there's your answer.
