I want to import the swf into php, beside using <embed> in html, any suggestions? I always update the content of swf, using the function <embed> has some problems.When i update the swf file. but html cannot be updated and refresh, still load the previous swf.file. Even i delete the swf.file. It still load the previous swf.file?

This is because swf stay in browser cache. If you want to see the last version, just delete the cache. If you're in development stage, that's enought. If you think the swf itself will be changed in production, so users will suffer the same, then you probably should use an external preload that add randomnes to the load, something like this:

loadMovie("some.swf?"+Math.random*());

This force always to load new content, so the disavantage is that your swf takes some time to load allways

I want to use the preload fucntion, the code you suggest should be write into flash? How about html? I don't understand. Can you give me some example.

Should be write into Flash ... i.e suppose I have a Main.swf, I use a preload.swf with this code (I ommit preload in sake of simplicity, but should be added)

holder = this.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1);
holder.loadMovie("Main.swf?"+Math.random());

This will force to load allways a new version of Main, and should be running in a server (locally gives you an error that Main.swf?0.4354354328437 doesn't exists)

I have try your method, it seem not work! Nothing can be loaded!
I give you the code, what is the error?

My second question is "undefind" is shown in html, but not shown in swf?

php:

<?php

include("design/header4.php");

?>

<html>
<head>
<title> </title>
</head>

<body>
<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="X.swf"></param>
<embed width="600" height="400" bgcolor="#000000" src="store/X/X.swf"</embed>

</object>

</body>

</html>

flash:

// here is a reference to this timeline
var here = this

// create an object to store the variables
varReceiver = new LoadVars();

// now the target path is to the server, because it's a php file
varReceiver.load("abc.txt");
// when the variables finish loading
//trigger something
varReceiver.onLoad = function() {

   // show some text in a text field
   // using the loaded variables
   createTextField("a_txt", 1, 130, 100, 5, 5);

is it possible zou are not calling the html via server, but rather from file system?

Even if the html file is located on your computer, you have to use http://localhost... to display its contents.

HTML-fiel and SWF-File have to reside at the same domain.

cliffcc · « **Reply #6 on:** 12/21/10, 08:56 »

I dun understand. I think it is the problem of code? (I have successfully load it before,but now not work!

Since i have tried to save as html file and then loaded in the desktop, it generated the same result as i run in php!

But i still want to run those code in server!!! Anyone can help me?

Ronald Wernecke · « **Reply #7 on:** 12/21/10, 09:15 »

If you call the php file, what do you get?

Sorry, i confused you.
I did not mean you to change the file sufix.
php is just generating html - so i've been talking about html.

But, if you run this stuff on you local computer, what I assume, you cannot open the php file out of the filesystem.

Supposing you are running a php capable server (like apache, or IIS with php extension) you have to open the file via http://localhost/path to File/filename.php

Otherwise the php will not be executed.

cliffcc · « **Reply #8 on:** 12/22/10, 06:39 »

Yes. Of course, i load the php via the server by using http://localhost/........! The question is i cannot load the swf successfully!

Ronald Wernecke · « **Reply #9 on:** 12/22/10, 07:14 »

what error message do you receive?
did you use charles to analyze the communication?
are you sure about the path?

cliffcc · « **Reply #10 on:** 12/22/10, 08:32 »

I try this path (http://localhost/store/X/X.swf), loaded sccessfully. The texts and pictures in swf can be all shown.

But I try this path (http://localhost/X.php) which embed the X.swf, the texts are shown as "undefined", there are no pictures shown! Any idea! Thanks!

Ronald Wernecke · « **Reply #11 on:** 12/22/10, 09:54 »

the problem seams to be in the path, how how you address it.

If you address the swf file relativly, it should look like "./store/X/X.swf" inside of the generated html code in your php file.

to be on the save side, you can embed this: "http://localhost/store/X/X.swf"

cliffcc · « **Reply #12 on:** 12/23/10, 08:32 »

Thanks! I have tried all method, the problem still exist!

Ronald Wernecke · « **Reply #13 on:** 12/23/10, 09:02 »

Did you start charles?
What does charles report?
I the machine, you are running it on, based on windows?

cliffcc · « **Reply #14 on:** 12/23/10, 09:30 »

sorry i don't know what is charles?
