How to use variables from php to load movie in flash?

[Julia Y]

Hi, I am a newbie in flash and action script.
Just wondering how can I use the variables (which is imported from a php file) to load a movie in flash.
In my php file, I have echo the variables so that Flash can read it.
<?php
echo "&user=".$userStatus;
?>
I have defined two variables i.e. $user=1 and $user=0.
If $user=0, the user could continue to the main movie as he/she is logging in.
if $user=1, the user couldn't continue to the main movie as he/she is not logging in.

I am using action script 2.0, level 2 in order to load my main movie.
Action Script 2.0 Button:
on(Release)
{
lvIn = new LoadVars();
lvIn.load("userStatus.php");
lvIn.onLoad = function(success)
{
    if (success)
    {
           if(lvIn.user==0)
           {
           loadMovieNum("mainMovie",1);
           }
           else
           {
           loadMovie("logout.php", "_self");
           }
     }
    else
    {
           loadMovie("logout.php", "_self");
    }
};
}

Am I on the right track in doing this? Can somebody help me to correct it and give me some advices, please?
Thanks!

Hi Julia,
and welcome to the boards.

If you want to load a movie, it should be a movie, and not a php script.

You can use any movie name you like, as long as the movie resides at the same domain.

You can even send this link to the movie dynamicly by the php script.

I suppose, that is what you wanted.

in this case, your IF-Structure could go into the php side.

Code:

<?php
....
if($userStatus==0){
   $nextMovie="mainMovie.swf";
}else{
   $nextMovie="bye.swf";
}

echo "user=".$nextMovie;
?>

at the flash side, it is only a single line

if(success) loadMovie(lvIn.user);
