Omar, Thanks for the php references. I need that for a different piece of this puzzle. I left out the the non-Flash part of this story in the original description. I have a bunch of Python wrapped around the Flash. So I wrote a Python CGI to write the variable out to XML and bridge my little misunderstanding with Flash. I use a .send() to invoke the Python with a query string and it works fine.

Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful nor conceited It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins...but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope... and to endure... whatever comes. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
