michaellunsford Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 flash accepts variables passed to it in the URL. So, in your flash source parameter, you could just put "mp3.swf?song1=one.mp3&song2=two.mp3" etc. you could also have flash query a URL occasionally to grab a new song. The php output would look much the same as before "song1=one.mp3&song2=two.mp3". the difficult end will be creating a flash actionscript that knows when to call for the next song -- but that's a question for a flash forum.

corillo181 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 thats no problem i already got all that workin, but what i wanted to implement is on using "mp3.swf?song1=one.mp3&song2=two.mp3" the problem with this is that my xml file is located at the mp3.as so if i do add that line how will the .as know when to look only for what ever is in the url and not what i wrote on it the load file is xml.onload("songs.php"); so wouldn't i have to change that to something like xml.onload("songs.php?song1=one"); the problem is how do i get inside a .as file to do that. or is there a better way? by not using .as?

michaellunsford Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 it simply becomes a variable in flash so, mp3.swf?name=songtitle would translate to a variable in flash called "name" that contains the value "songtitle" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71709-solved-flash-player/#findComment-362519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
