# ain't tried 4.3.0 yet,
but with 4.2.1 you have to retrieve yer variables using $_POST['woo'] or $_GET['yay'] instead of ye olde method....

# I used to
just make the PHP script generate the output something like this

&variablename="wankyfucksocks"

and that would work

edit: There must be a site which explains this, I've been looking and there seem to be a few methods of doing it, but some are probably for older versions?

# Um ..
Doesn't the & symbol indicate a pointer? And you missed a semicolon :-)

# for the older versions
the system variable 'trackvariables' (I think) was on, now it's off....the readmes say all of this anyway; basically you need to grab the variables using either Snoop's suggestion or mine.

# ahem
edit: No I'm doing something fundamentally more stupid than that I'm sure.

This is the Actionscript for the button to submit a variable, but it doesn't do it, nothing gets passed.

on (release) {
getURL ("middle.php", "_blank", "GET");
}

# what var are you
expecting to be passed to middle.php? Does GetURL create a global variable?

# Seemingly this script passes ALL variables
on a flash movie frame. And I think they may be global variables.

edit: I note global variables are set to off in PHP.ini. Damn I feel dim.

MANY THANKS. :D

# Yup - that
was the change, done for security reasons as well as speed and/or memory consumption. Foxed me for a while too!
