Hello, I am very new to implementing Flash and ActionScript so forgive me if I am way off base.
I have an application that utilizes the date and time. It is imperative that this is correct and not from the client's machine. To get the server date/time, I can pass it in as a FlashVars or I can call a PHP script from within Flash and load the date as returned data from the call. Is there another way? Is one way more secure than another? I have read FlashVars is not "safe" but it always referenced passing passwords in. I am not concerned with the user SEEING the data, I just don't want them to be able to load the SWF in a way that they would be able to pass in their own values. Also, in a similiar fashion, I want to load some data from a database. I am using a MySQL backend and figure to use a PHP script to do the data manipulation I need then call the data from within my ActionScript. (Essentially, I am going to be loading some images from the database based on criteria, then I want to be able to use those in my flash application). Thanks for your patience and help.
