I'am searching how to send variables from a php webpage to a flash animation that it will be integrated into another webpage Little example : An user enter his name in an input in a php page then when he clicks submit button, his name will be shown in a flash animation
Any suggestions?
If I understood right, you want to have some sort of form processed with user data, then on submit load a different page that holds a flash animation that needs the user data,right?
You can look into flashvars. Basically you can pass any number of key value pairs ( under 64K ) when you embed a flash object and they will be available in the root loader info object.
//access flashvars
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
You add the flash vars when embeding the swf. You can use SWFObject. A little snippet:
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = false;
var params = {
menu: "false",
flashvars: "name1=hello&name2=world&name3=foobar"
};
var attributes = {
id: "myDynamicContent",
name: "myDynamicContent"
};
swfobject.embedSWF("myContent.swf", "myContent", "300", "120", "9.0.0","expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
You can check:
Doesn't Flash integrate in with Javascript? I would investigate that because PHP doesn't really interact with Flash other than maybe generating some Javascript to put on the page for flash to interact with.
