I have the files needed to use SWF files with PHP and wondered if it's possible to..

load an SWF.. add an ActionScript command to one of the frames.. and then save the loaded SWF with a different name (ie file2.swf) :?:

..I have look through the PHP manual on the site but can't find anything related to this.

Thanks for your help and your time.

Thanks.. but I've already checked this out.

There doesn't seem to be a command that lets you set a variable in the SWF movie though!

The actual ActionScript command is Set Variable: "Name" = "Value"

I need to open an exsisting SWF movie.. add the Set Variable command to one of the frames.. and then save the SWF movie onto the server under a different name.

Please don't point me towards some dead-end link again as I do go through everything before I ask.. and It's annoying when people keep sending me round in circles!

<irritated mod>People here help because they want to, not because they have to. How do we know what you've looked at before you come here for help, you said you'd looked in the manual and hadn't found anything - not that you had looked in the Shockwave Flash functions section of the manual and hadn't found anything. You may not have even found the swf section in the manual for all we know which is probably why Takuma posted that link. I personally find it annoying when someone comes here for help and then moans because we can't read their mind and post links to resources that they've already seen.</irritated mod>

I'm glad you do lots of research before you ask but we don't know that before you tell us. All we know is what you post and if that's a bit vague then we probably won't interpret it in the way you meant it. Sorry 'bout that but there's not much we can do about it.

Ok. I'm sorry if I went a bit OTT.

I am still looking for help on this 'set variable' thing though.. and I can't find out how to do it so please help me if you can.

Thanks.
