I have a PHP dynamic form that I need to generate name/value pairs from that Flash CS3 can bring in and use. Four of the values are user selected from dynamic menus and the fifth value is from a field in the record isolated by the users four choices.
I believe If the name/value pairs are generated I can bring them into the Flash portion of the page. I would prefer not to change pages to accomplish this, but instead gather the users input, create variables and load them into Flash.
Appreciate any help with this, PHP is new to me and I'm using WA tools to do most of it. The external interaction with Flash is new. I've just not needed to use it in the Flash that I have developed in the past.
