I am trying to get flash8 to import an image into a movie clip through the
FlashVars system.
I can get text from the database to display using Var with a php request...
however what I would like to do is to use the database name of an image within
loadMovie to display the chosen image.

The idea is that a user will input their choice of image and add their text to
a database and using a unique ID all the Vars from that ID... loading the
correct info through variables.

If I explained this badly, please let me know and I will review it... I know
what I'm doing, just don't know how to.

Thanks In Advance

Sorry folks... just needed to bump this question back to the top... it was getting lost.

HI Catflea,

So if I understand right you'd like to set the FlashVars for your Flash movie
dynamically? Is there a problem in generating the HTML page hosting that movie
and encoding the FlashVars in their usual param=value representation
dynamically?

I have no problem importing text into the .swf through FlashVars and Param
Value. This I can pull out of mySQL using PHP... however the problem I am
having is to pull an image name from the database and have this image load
dynamically into the .swf so that I can call it for use on the timeline.
