Fairly simple if you're using Flash MX. In the flash movie create a LoadVars object. myObject = new LoadVars (); create an onLoad event for it... myObject.onLoad = function () { trace (myObject.returnedValue); } drag and drop a button component and name it myButton and add this code. myButton.onRelease = function () { _root.myObject.sentValue = "Ron"' _root.myObject.sendAndLoad("myPHPpage.php",myObject,"post"); } now create a php page called "myPHPpage.php and include the following... <?php $selectedName=$HTTP_POST_VARS['sentValue'];?> <?php echo "&returnedValue=".$selectedName." Allen"; ?> Don't put ANYTHING else in this PHP page. No space, no html markup, nothing. That should do it. I haven't tested the code, it just sort of flew out of my fingers but it should would. Doing a google search on Flash and PHP turns up tons of rescources. Good luck!
