Saving my Movie Clip Positions with PHP and MySQL

Question

Hello,

I have created a movie player (FLV) which simply plays my
movie clips. Everything works fine and I like to add a new button
to save the position that the movie has been played till. So, I can
come back later and have the option to play the movie from the
point it was stopped the previous time. Therefore, I need to Save
my Movie Clip Positions with PHP and MySQL.

So far I have created a button that saves the position of the
my movie clip "ns.time" into a variable. I am currently just
displaying this variable but I need to export it to my PHP file
where it gets sorted for being sent to mySQL Database. Could you
tell m e how this can be down or where I can find more material
(tutorial) to get this done.

I have tried to export it useing "getURL(url,window,method)"
which points to my PHP file. But for some reason when it sends lots
of information to my php and not only the Movie Clip Position. I
have realised from the address line that is trying to send millions
of information about the movie data-rate, etc.

I have realised that the Flash is trying to send all the
information from my Listbox and Tree which are the list of the
movie clips that I have. I am not sure why it is trying to send
those informations!!! Is there anyway I can stop the Flash from
sending all the information to my PHP file and only sends the value
of my one Variable?

this is how I am sending the value of the Input Variable to
the PHP File....

getURL("
http://www.myDomainName.com/aishopper/test2/matrix.php","","GET");

Thank you so much and have a great day.

I'd suggest using the loadVars class instead of getURL, but if you must use getURL, just add the variable you need to the url srtring instead of sending all of the timeline variables (which is what you are doing now)

getURL(" http://www.myDomainName.com/aishopper/test2/matrix.php?streamTime="+yourTimeVariable);
