Flash uses ActionScript, which is just a slightly-modified (and Flash-centric) version of JavaScript. I'd suggest checking into using your Flash GUI as an AJAX frontend, reading the PHP returns from the server through a socket read in Flash. Now as to how to do that...?

I know that this is not the topic of this forum, but i would like to know how you cope with such issue from PHP point of view ? i mean, did you play the flash menu on first page (like index.php e.g.) and after you have another menu, or do you use it through your complete website ? basically i found a lot of flash templates but nothing about PHP pages menu integration. I guess several of you have already done it so i need just your feedback on possible solutions. thanks a lot. -- Alain Windows XP SP2 PostgreSQL 8.2.4 / MS SQL server 2005 Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.4 C# 2005-2008 I never use Flash for anything functional.

I also got three other boxes running, but those on x86 arch instead. Noone cares about the dist. The difference lies in the architecture. Don't assume everyone got the same equipment you got. And sorry to say, flash is horseshit, just look at youre cpu usage. I play two xvid encoded movies the same cpu overhead (with libavcodec). Ey skip the flash, put out a high resolution movie instead, you just need a better uplink for that. Oh just to convince you, you read online newspapers? open some of those windows... nah you don't need many, I usually tab, say 5 - 10.
