flash data integration:
Hi, everyone!
I`m a PHP newbie. I just learned PHP so that I can use databases with Flash.
I`ve got a .php script that contains html that loads up my .swf file. The .swf
file is the core of my site. What I want to know is if I can call some PHP
functions (that I have wrote in the .php script) from within the .swf file...
This functions would perform the reading and updating of my database.
The only way I know of to modify a database from Flash is using the POST and
GET methods. But that opens up a new browser window in which the PHP script is
called. And that only handles writing in the database. So, what if I just want
to read from the database some values and insert them into a TextField in
Flash? How do I do that?
Thanks! Ardy

1. Goggle "Flash and mySQL" and you'll get a listing of alot tutorials
2. I'm also just learning. Here's a great URL to start:

Building with Flash and MySQL
That's right, a Flash-based blog ? it sounds a little loony, but this blog
pulls content from a MySQL database and feeds it into the dynamic Flash
frontend ...
