php script handling flash Actionscript?

can anyone help in explaining how a php script handles a flash actionscript please? Or maybe draw a diagram? Thank you

I've never used PHP with Flash before but i have found a website that might be of help to you: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/acti..._php_mysql.htm.

PHP doesn't "interact" with actionscript per se, rather, using the actionscript loadVariables function.

Basically, you request a page from PHP using a URL to the file and including a query string

loadVariables('this.php?this=1&this=2');

PHP will receive this and do the appropriate logic and functions and can return a url encoded string of variables and values

thisVar=1&thisvar=2&thisvar=3

Actionscript will now have th above variables available to use in the script.

^^ that is the most fundamental way to have communication between the two but it has been superseded by the far superior and more comprehensive loadVars class.

A grass roots look at the possibilities can be seen http://blog.inventis.be/category/flash-external-data/ or more tailored to PHP in marcs post ^^^
