flash (as3) / php communication not as easy as in as2

i have a question... how to get a Var from php into an running flash application scripted in as3? There was a function called _root in as2 but it seems not to work in as3?!?

Is there a easy way (without a socket) to receive php vars in as3?

Thx

        var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("someurl");

        url.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

        var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
        urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

        urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, sendComplete);
        urlLoader.load(saveAudio);

        function sendComplete(evt:Event):void
        {

            var id = evt.target.data.id;
        }

in someurl you need to write down like this (if using asp.net)

Response.Write("id=" + somid);

now you can access the id from your flash app.

I think you're talking about getting FlashVars from the embedded SWF, in AS2 they were attached to _root. Now they are attached to the LoaderInfo.parameters property for a particular loaded SWF object.

So to get the one from root you could do

var flashVars:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;

And grab your loaded vars like this...

flashVars.myVar;

root.loaderInfo.parameters contains all flash vars.
