texte = I've been using a work around with XML in my Flash MX sites. Basically I have WebDNA write out an XML document and make the nodes my fields and vars from the db. Flash MX will process the XML a little slower than a general txt document but there is no comparison when the actual document to parse is nice and orderly. I have been experimenting with persistent connection to PHP/MySQL via the FlashCom server but the downfall of FlashCom is that it does run rather slowly but I would say it would be fine on smaller sites. The work around you are doing is just passing the var through the URL like http://www.mysite.com?var1=value1&var2=value2. So how do you bring your var back in or don't you? ~dan On 8/4/03 4:51 PM, "Christian F. Gurney"
