hello,
I've been working on this for days, and sought help from several sources (forums and tutes)...maybe someone here can help.
The page that holds my swf receives a var from a form. I want my actionscript to recognize that var and pass it on to my php script - which then sends text back to flash. Seems straightforward enough...
I've got the dyn text part working, as long as I hardcode my var into it. For instance:
In my actionscript, this hardcoded version works (returns proper data to my movie):
loadVariables('http://www.castyourvision.net/vision_sites/content1_1.php?userid=pfleming, "_root.text");
Whereas This doesn't (gives me blank textfield):
loadVariables('http://www.castyourvision.net/vision_sites/content1_1.php?userid='+root.userid, "_root.text");
My PHP also works fine...as long as it receives the variable (as in first example above). But, for some reason, I can't get my as to pass along the var. here's my as:
loadVariables('http://www.castyourvision.net/vision_sites/content1_1.php?userid='+root.userid, "_root.text");
I've also tried loadVariablesNum and I've tried to use just +userid (instead of +root.userid) ...but I get nothing. Again - it works as long as I define userid in the code.
*One more piece of info. In my html page, I'm embedding the swf like this to make the var available to my movie:
src="basic.swf?userid=<? echo $userid; ?>"
...and this also is working just fine
(i.e. basic.swf?userid=pfleming)
Can anyone shed some light on this? Seems like I've tried *everything....
