Hi,

Not sure how to explain this one. however let me try.

My file structure is as follows:

video/bromford/header_video.flv
video/showreel/header_video.flv
video/sydney/header_video.flv

and in my index page i have the following php code

PHP Code:

<?php 
$folder = showreel;
?>

and in flash the following AS

[AS]
myVideo_nc = new NetConnection();
myVideo_nc.connect(null);
newStream_ns = new NetStream(myVideo_nc);
videoHolder.attachVideo(newStream_ns);
newStream_ns.play(loadMovieNum("video/"+folder+"/header_video.flv",0));
[/AS]

this way i thought i would be able to load a different flv into the same swf by just changing the variable on the index page, for example

PHP Code:

<?php 
$folder = sydney;
?>

would load in this file "video/sydney/header_video.flv"

but its not working anybody have any ideas?

I don't have a massive amount of experience using ActiopScript and php together, but do you not have to load that variable into flash in some way? Flash is self contained and that php is gonna run on the server so how is flash going to pick up that variable if you do not specifically pass it? could you us a getURL and then return the value?

I'm not 100% sure, but it's an idea ?
