actionscript + php question - GoFuckYourself.com

Is it possible to pass a variable used by a php script in actionscript, even though its not defined in the actionscript, but in the actual external php script?

Im trying to pass the wordpress plugin path to a video plugin that requires a script, normally it has to be put in the root directory, I want it in the plugin directory instead.

any help is greatful.

You can communicate between flash/AS and PHP in a few ways.

The most simple is to just pass the variable as a flashvar.
IE, in your embed src.... foo.swf?varname=<?=$value?>
Obviously depending on your embed method (swfobject etc) the implementation will change.

Failing that, you can use AS to do a datapost to a URL, and receive back information.

I'm assuming the first will be what you're looking for.

You can actually call a javascript function that uses ajax to retrive the value from php.
