Using dynamic elements with FMS/FMSS/FMIS...can I do this?

Hello all,

Here's an elaboration on the general title of this post:

On one page of my website, the user has a large selection of videos they can choose from.

They select one, clicking the link

This opens a new page (with the player built in?) and plays the video.

NOW...

Can I retrieve the data from a query string (the video filename selected from the previous page) and then place it in the action script using PHP (echo) so that I don't have to have separate applications for each video? or do I have to have separate SWF/applications for wach video?

I'm still way new to this so I apologise if the question isn't clear enough. I'll gladly elaborate where I can.

Many thanks!!!

Sincerely,

wordman

    You need not have separate SWFs in order to play different videos.

    SE,

    This looks great!!! Let me ask you this: Is there any problem saving my page with the player as .php as opposed to .html? I have a number of dynamic aspects to my web pages that I want to maintain.

    You really are an asset to this forum. thank you and all of the great contributors here so very much!

    Sincerely,

    wordman

    I do not think saving file as .php should matter - it should work the same as plain html containing embedded swf should work. If it does not let me know.
