However, you need to understand not only php, but ActionScript. I don't see why you would need Ajax to do this because you would first create the Flash segment in the background and then simply bring it forward and present it in a Flash player.. I think I have an idea of what you are trying to do and I believe it would be best if you created graphics in the background using php and then brought it forward with Ajax as data changed, all without the need for flash. But, if you want to investigate the Flash-PHP connection try Google "actionscript and php" Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
Thanks tedd and zerof. tedd, I did as you suggested above with graphics created with PHP/GD and pulled with Ajax ( http://home.capecod.net/~cape84/Monitor.PNG for a static example ) but the image, when updated, is still unstable on IE while still _perfectly_ stable on FireFox. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to live with suggesting users view with FireFox but I'll try to mock up a test case with Flash to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks, David
