Passing Variable from SWF on HTML to SWF on PHP

[thotelier]

I'm new to this PHP thing, and I wanted to make an ecard that was a SWF that displayed dynamic text generated thanks to the concatenated PHP URL that opened in a new window after filling input text boxes in an initial SWF. I followed the instructions found at http://animation.about.com/od/flashanimationtutorials/ss/flashphpecard1.htm, and developed the HTML and PHP files using Dreamweaver.

My issue is that, while the SWF on the PHP URL loads, and the URL itself does contain all the concatenated information drawn from the input text boxes in the initial SWF, my ecard SWF does not display the text from the PHP URL in its dynamic text boxes. I have correctly labeled the variables, double and triple checking my file formulas against the sample in the tutorial I used. So I don't know why the dynamic text boxes won't display the text from the PHP URL. Please help if you can. Thanks
