Sometimes...I feel like I'm on my own...j/k. I fixed it.

Apparently was overthinking this and wanted to query the DB to find out the rating once it posted. When thats simply not necessary since I can call javascript directly from actionscript. So really all that needed to be done is write a function on the parent page (genre.php) and pass the parameters via actionscript.

genre.php

Code:

//code that opens the child window container my mp3 player
function launchPlayer(id,title){
	genre=<?=$genre;?>  //variable set via PHP
	player= window.open ('player2.php?id='+id+'&genre='+genre, title,'location=0,status=0,scrollbars=0,menubar=no,resizable=no,width=480,height=250');
}


//this is the function I added to the parent page.
function updateRate(id,rating){
	//each rate image id is named 'rate' + its primary key from the database. (for example: <img id="rate1111" src="images/headphones.gif" />)
	window.document.getElementById(id).src = 'images/headphones'+ rating +'.gif';
}

player.php

Code:

//this is how I call that function from my actionscript
getURL("javascript: window.opener.updateRate('rate"+ songID + "','" + this.rate_value + "');");

And there you have it. Sometimes you just need to back away from your problems and revisit with a clear mind
