Ok I have a pretty complex question to ask....
I am making a sort of "barometer" in which people can login, and see how much of their table is paid for. As they pay I want a opaque layer to reveal more and more of the table as they get closer to their goal. I want flash to be able to dynamically pull in an image based on a php variable, then generate the position of the over opaque layer.
1) First I want to know how to make a flash movie pull information from a mysql database, total paid, total remaining, table picture
2) I want to know how to dynamically include a picture as the background of the flash image
3) If 20% of the table is paid I want the layer over 80% of the table, and as they pay more, the layer rescends, untill all is paid off and which there is no longer a white layer over the table.
I know this is a lot to ask, but it would really help me out to be able to learn this stuff, so any helpful information provided for any of these steps would be greatly appreciated.
