flash data integration: 1. You can use XML or URL encoded variables to send data to and from any server
script including PHP.

a. XML See http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/00002879.html for the
template example.

b. URL Encoded variables

2. The data is all sent as text over the internet. Assigning values to the XML
or LoadVars objects automatically converts them to text however you may have
some formatting and conversion issues in using the data received on both the
Flash and PHP sides.

I'm still exploring the sample and the tutorial for flash 8 and i'm still quite
new with PHP and stuff.

I was viewing the samples from Flash 8:
boot drive\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\Samples and
Tutorials\Samples\DataIntegration\Guestbook

what i don't understand and what i want to know more about is:
1) Flash > POST > PHP, is this right by the way? and what does the data from
flash has changed into to be sent to PHP? does it chage into XML? or array? or
something else?

2) and then from PHP > get > Flash, is this right? and what does the data from
PHP has changed into to be sent back to Flash?

Hope someone can help me on this...I want to understand how it happen...

Thanks much in advance!
