load php echo text into a flash text box

[martinb7]

Hi, i was wondering how do you make a php page with a echo(); command load into a flash dynamic textbox.

e.g

//php page//
$fred = "test";

echo($fred);

how would i load the output of the echo into a flash textbox??

Help!!

Thanx

Martin

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function(){
mytextbox.text = lv.fred;
)
lv.sendAndLoad("my.php",lv,"GET"

i cant get it working!!

please help!!

btw your code comes up with an error:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=Layer 1, Frame=1: Line 4: Unexpected ')' encountered
)

could you give me a .fla and a .php page in a .zip please??

thanx

You can't directly pick up an echoed value from PHP - you have to set it up as a variable/value pair like this:

&myVariable=value

formated like this in your PHP script:

$fred="test";
echo "&fred=".$fred;

Then (using the loadVars object as Bill has already shown you) in Flash you have:

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function(){
mytextbox.text = lv.fred;
}
lv.sendAndLoad("my.php",lv,"GET"

...stick a dynamic textbox on the stage with instance name 'mytextbox' and the value of your 'fred' variable will show up in it.
