PHP runs on the webserver, actionscript run inside a Flash 'object' which itself runs in the webbrowser on the client. the communication between flash and php is via our friend HTTP. flash makes requests to the webserver just as the browser would and the requested scripts on the webserver stip out data (usually XML) back to flash ... you use actionscript code inside flash to make the request and parse the returned data. flash is platform independent - you create a flash file with actionscript code in it (and whatever else is relevant, in terms of animation, etc), you compile it into an SWF file and that file weill run in any browser with a flash player (with the caveat that some flash functionality is only available in newer version of the flash player. > > Thanks! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
