PHP into Flash

I am somewhat of a newb at PHP. I have dome a lot of forms and stuff like that but I am having some difficulty getting data INTO flash. Here is my problem

//I call the URL

URL'+quizid

//and I get something like this in return.




How, how do I call that data into into flash and parse it out to the right variables?

Thanks for the help. Would you recomond any good PHP/Flash books?

You might want to check out this article:

Also, it is possible to get variables into flash using loadVars("phpscript.php" . . .), but its extremely tedioius, and the php has to format the varables so that they appear as so:

&var1=whatever&
&var2=somethingelse&

Don't quote me on that syntax though.

As far as books, i know the flash mx developer's guide has a few solid chapters on php.

P.S. If you want to get XML directly into php, one way to go is to buy the flash firefly components

This is the simplist way I have found for getting data from php into flash. Note that loadVars requires mx, but you can do similar with loadvariables etc

my php file will produce something like this:

echo "&var1=Joe&var2=Smith&var3=Some+Place";

The flash actionscript looks like this..

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.load("http://localhost/test/dbase_flash.php", myData);

myData.onLoad = function() {
firstName = myData.var1;
lastName = myData.var2;
// etc.
trace (firstName + " " + lastName);
}

I have also done some xml stuff too. Let me know if you want some help with that.
