Actionscript 3.0 calling PHP function

I´m aware that with

loader = new URLLoader();
loader.data;

it´s possible to get the entire data/information from a php page.. But I don't want a php page for every bit of information I want from to 'stream'.

So my Question is: Is it possible to have multiple functions/methods in a php script, and only call the method I require?

such as:

<?php
   function getColour1()
      echo "blue";

   function getColour2()
      echo "red";
?>

If "yes", 2 lines of code that show how, or link to an example would be greatly appreciated.

cheers, M

$functionName = $_GET["action"];
$functionName() or call_user_func($functionName)

You want to hear about Front Controller Pattern.

Moreover, you need to route your request to different functions - I advise you to use this beautiful library, if you don't want to go with a full framework MVC stack.

You can pass an "action" variable to PHP, then use if/else statements in PHP tp respond to that action.

You could call the page like this:

http://www.site.com/script.php?action=getColour1

Then in your code:

<?php

switch($_GET["action"]) {

    case "getColour1":
        getColour1();
        break;
    case "getColour2":
        getColour2();
        break;
    default:
        echo "Unknown action";
        break;
}

?>
