Flash and PHP help

[ACJavascript]

Hello All,

Okay I am wanting to pull in the total Number of members on our website through flash. (so as I can animate the number)

Now, I can pull the info in but the problem is the script takes about 1-2 seconds to pull the info of the MYSQL database, and by the time it is put into the dynamic text field in flash that animation is half over.

I downloaded a Poll in Flash that worked with PHP and MYsql so that I could see how they did it, but to no avial I cannot get it to FIRST load then display. So could you please help me!!! Anybody!

This is what I have now:

Frame 1 Starts to load the script to get variables (code I use):

loadVariables("flash_getMembers.php","dummy","GET");
stop();

On Frame 1 I have some text saying loading. This text I turn into a Instance named dummy - I then put this code in the instance:

onClipEvent(data){
_root.nextFrame();
}


on Frame 2 I place the text field that should display that data from the script.


Please is there a problem with any of this code, or somthing you can suggest??

Thanks for anyones help!

What program are you using to create your flash movie? I've seen some pretty good tutorials on:

http://www.swish-db.com

Although they have a lot of SWiSH tutorials there, the scripting should be the same. They also have some help support for .fla files.

Hope this helps..I'll see what I can dig up.

HEY!

I figured out a script to do it! hehe.

BUT now I am having another problem Please help hehe


How can I take to variables and pase them to two different dynamic fields in flash.

For example my code is(in php):
echo "NB="Members: " . $variable2;
echo "NB2="Members2: " . $variable3;

But in flash it shows this in the field NB:

Members: 135 NB2="Members: " .$variiable3;

How can I get it so that it doesn't do the above.


Any help is appreciated!
