since you can use xml in flash there should be no problem generating xmlcode with php which you can use in flash...

well, i found out that you can use "?var=bla" after the movie name in the html to pass info to flash :D, only flash 6 though but does save alot of time!

The principal module for using php to generate or manipulate flash would be the ming libraries - there is a lot of information in the ming section of the manual or through googling.
Is one of the areas that I want to do some developing in, just haven't had the time yet.

It depends on what you want to do with flash. However, I was working for a company that developed the games in flash, and the logic in PHP, and it worked out well.

Have a look at the link below, it gives a pretty good idea of using php and flash, not sure if its exactly what you want.

You'd need to be a little more specific in your question. But I remember making a Flash front-end for poll engine in PHP early as Flash 4, and it's only gotten easier now.

if you just want to read the flash file from a database just read it and before echoing or printing the data from the db use the function header as follows: header("Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash");
