Dynamic URLs
Ok, this is the situation:
I am trying to develop a site where different users can store profiles--for instance, I am Jeremiah and I have three kids (hypothetically, not actually) and I want to display information for each of them. I want to load 3 separate pages that will have information on each child (pics and text). I need each of these to have unique urls as I want to link to them independently.
I have tried this by simply passing on php variables and reading them into flash and I have tried with AMFPHP. I think AMFPHP is supposed to theoretically address this issue, but I cannot read information from the database and get no error message. The former method, loading a php file into my swf, has its limitations as I cannot dynamically (to my knowledge) load a path that has php variable information and even if I could, I would need to bind the data to some sort of selection component (ie dropbox) anyway.
I have been working on this for days with no signs of progress and am starting to lose my mind. My prospective solution at this point is to make a php page with the specific url (based on the mysql information) and have it automatically redirect to a php page that contains the flash movie clips, but I don't want to start this if it's going to lead me down the wrong path--yet again.
Does anyone have advice on this?
Thank you much,
Jeremiah
