PHP to Flash control panel

[roccoman]

I have very little previous knowledge of PHP i read like 5 chapters of a PHP book a year ago....

I stayed up all night going over a FLA of a flash site i decompiled from the internet, that has PHP updated flash news... The news automatically updates in the FLASH from a php file..

IS there any tutorials that show you how to make a control panel in PHP where it has user input which then adds the information to a text.php that is then read by Flash?

Im extremly new to actionscript and PHP but i have examined long and hard and Understnad quite well.... Anyone have ne tutorials?

I don't have a tutorial, but the idea is that the news articles are stored in a database. You make an interface to add news to the database.

Then you create php script for flash. This script could output either the standard flash variable format: var1=value1&var2=value2&var3=value3 , or output in xml. For news articles, XML would hold the data better since you usually have multiple variables associated with 1 news article. ( title, author, time, text )

I haven't used Flashes XML features yet, but a Flash developer I work closely with has and he loves it.

I'm sorry I can't be more specific than the basic concept, but I hope this clears it up a little. PHP doesn't write to text.php. It writes the data to a database. text.php just pulls the data from the database and creates a text file for flash.
