PHP data in Flash

[xtraelusive]

I've followed the tutorial "http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_mysql.htm" many times, but can't seem to get it to work...

*even from the page 1 part of the tut*....

One thing i've noticed is that when i make a dyn.text field i can give it a variable name but not an instance name, then when i make it a movie clip, i can give it and instance name but not a var. name....

Any suggestions...?

thats because that tutorial is for Flash MX where you can give textfields instance names. Thats why its not working. Give the field a variable name and change all the


someVariable.text

to


someVariable

where someVariable is the variable name of your dynamic text field...

oh and if the tutorial uses loadVars() thats not supported in Flash 5 either... :(
