Very good tutorial, but you got to be carefull about the folders. I had my animation in root/page/anim and my pages where functioning in root/page and i placed the .php files in the /anim folder cause i thought that it may read from there WRONG! the flash reads from where the page containing the movie is running, in this case root/page , so i moved the file from root/page/anim to root/page and problem solved. Keep in mind that my .swf file was still in /anim.

have a nice day!
