[PHP] php arrays into flash
I know a lot more about php than about flash (which is probably sad) but does anyone know how to take info in an array and pass it into an array in flash? I think they have arrays, but the only thing I can seem to find in flash to get info from php is the loadvariable actionscript step. I looked around via google and I couldn't find anything within a reasonable time that seemed to answer this question.

Re: [PHP] php arrays into flash
don't know about loading it directly in flash, but you could always create a javascript array in the page that loads the flash module and then have flash read it or javascript enter it into the flash module.

Re: [PHP] php arrays into flash
Jim,
The key words are implode on the PHP side and split on the Flash side.
Here's an example:
The data is returned from PHP like so, after doing the connect, select,
etc. to produce an array of 7 dates for back issues ... no claim that this
is optimal code.
if( $result mysql_num_rows( $result ) = 1 )
{
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )
{
$arrdates[] = $row[ dtStory ];
}
$issuedates = implode( ,, $arrdates );
}
echo issuedates=.$issuedates;
and in Flash, as part of the LoadVars varGetDates.onLoad = function(
success) callback is handled like so ...
_root.arrIssueDates = issuedates.split( , );
_root.dtDate = _root.arrIssueDates[0];
for (i=0; i arrIssueDates.length; i++)
{
//load combo-display and data same in this case
cboIssueDates.addItem(arrIssueDates[i],arrIssueDates[i]);
}

You can do it via XML, or you could use serialize in PHP and write an unserialize function in ActionScript.
