arrays from php to flash

[zing]

could anyone give me a basic idea of how you would take a stored array in php and then load it into flash (ver. 6, i'm using MX)?

thanks in advance

print array from php in this form (script must be pure PHP, no HTML tags):
&somevariablename=value1§value2§value3......
(§ sign is used as a delimiter because later you will need to explode that string)

in flash:
temp = new LoadVars();
temp.load(http://URL to PHP script);
temp.onLoad = function(){
myArray = new Array();
myArray = temp.somevariablename.split("§");
}

and then you can access values in myArray in this form myArray[number]

Use Flash Remoting

http://amfphp.sourceforge.net

It will ocnvert PHP data types to Flash data types. Other than that what leom suggested is the easiest way.
