The basic structure of these variables is fromname=<?php echo $fromname; ?>. To explain it simply, this structure is telling Flash to get the variable fromname from the URL, and then make the value of variable fromname already present as a dynamic text field in xmascard.swf equal to the value of fromname taken from the URL. You can do this over and over again, appending variables and PHP calls just by adding another & and then a new set. Make sure that you do this in both the PARAM tag for the movie and in the EMBED SRC tag.
To explain it in a more complex fashion, talk to Guide Angela Bradley; she’s the PHP guru, while I just dabble and try to struggle through without taking too many aspirin.
Once you’ve uploaded everything to the appropriate directories on your PHP-enabled web host, you should be set. You can allow anyone to enter content for the eCard, and then send their customized card to anyone just by giving them their personalized URL.
