flash help again. with buttons

[LimitLess]

i made my entire layout and my buttons that are associated with php dont work. my link for them in flash are regular as i would make them in photoshop which is

?page=home.html

and it doesnt work. it opens it in a new window. how can i get it to load where the $page variable is?

That is just a link where you define the variable... you also need a script that changes your page...

PHP Code:


<?php

switch($page)
{

case home:    $p = 'home.html';      break;

}

include($p);

?>

And then you just change your link to ?page=home

ok but , how is that going to benefit me? wat about stopping the flash from reloading everytime it loads the page from the flash generated menu?

[malboroman]

I'm not following you right now.... What are you trying to do?

Do you have a navbar that is flash... or do you have the entire site in flash and you want to load the content dynamicly?

Do you have an example I can look at?

[LimitLess]

yes please have a look at this.

i inserted ur code instead of mine and it worked brilliantly. now wat iam trying to do is have the page load only without the flash reloading everytime. how do i stop the flash content from reloading. i was told on a different forum that it will never stop reloading unless i use iframes.

[malboroman]

The are right about the I-frames... what you could do is put the entire site in flash and link the buttons to another frame in flash... then you just load the text staright into flash... By doing an include or something.

i dont understand how to do it. please eleborate. so the whole site would be in flash without the use of php?

[malboroman]

Well... you can do it with actionscript too... Just load an entire html page IN flash... So you get all the text in a content holder...

You can even load content from a MySQL database straight into flash...

can u perhaps give me an example of this? or perhaps some tutorials on how to do this?
