There are a lot of ways that you can have flash talk to PHP, typically, you can have it hit a page, and just get the results back. So when you have the PHP page spit the results back, be sure to do it in a way that is easy for the flash side of things to read. From what I recall (this was a ways back, before even flash 6), you could pass the strings back using a url-looking string (aka, foo=bar&baz=car) and you could get flash to parse those into variables for you.

Sorry I can't be more specific. It has just been a while. The thing I remember most is the pain. Every once in a while, Flash will seemingly break. There is always a reason, but typically not a good one. Be cautious in that Actionscript, and best of luck to ye.
