Abstract:

Communicating with PHP (or any other server-side script) from Macromedia Flash has become much easier with the introduction of the LoadVars object in Macromedia Flash MX. Here's a sample in which I use a MySQL database (containing friends' e-mail and phone information and a picture and caption if we have one), a PHP script to access that information, and Macromedia Flash to present it. I'll go through each of the steps I went through to create it.
