DDL deep linking to swf with PHP...HOW SO???

Post by danselstudios »

the question:

how do you control an SWF movie by passing this query to PHP?

understand,,,the swf movie is already been played (lets say sitting on frame 8) and you can see the contents of whatever frame 8 holds, then on the address bar you see http://xmlm3.com/#frame8, and of course, the actual address is http://xmlm3.com/index.php?realm=dev#frame8, SO ALL YOU DO is change frame8 to frame16 and the flash movie plays and goes to frame 16

has anyone seen this done before??? how do you do it??? what technologies or techniques are used for this?

i know for sure PHP is used.

view this site to see exactly what i'm talking about http://www.2advanced.com/#services/branding the advancement of this site is amazing. i need to catch up to this fast. can't stay too far behind in technolody

another thing:

everytime you change sections on this website....the scrollbar colors are set according to color scheme of the SWF.

that uses javascript....but somehow i believe it communicates to the PHP script first then javascript.


HOW SO????

php would be pointless here as its anchors (Everything client side, php is server side), all you need is javascript to pick up the anchor name/querystring and pass it to the flash movie (or a javascript to say if anchor = this then tell movie to go to frame X)

i think..
