Dynamic eCard with Flash and PHP

Once you’ve added your getURL, you’re finished with the input movie. Publish it to SWF, close it, and create a new movie containing the actual content of your eCard.

On the root level, you’ll want to create three new text fields – dynamic text, this time. Position and format them according to how you want them to appear when the user-input text is displayed in the appropriate fields. Put whatever text you like in them; it doesn’t matter, as it’ll be overwritten once the page containing the SWF loads the variables into it.
