Updating cast member with "file" doesn't work with PHP

[edenia webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hi, I'm trying to update a text cast member using a PHP text file running on our web server.

When I try to import into Director I choose IMport > Internet (Link to External File) > Import

When I enter the address of the PHP file and click Import I get the error:

"Having trouble reading [url]http://www.......com/mx.php[/url] Continue importing? -1 "

I can import files with HTML endings okay but not PHP. When I add a button to the movie to force it do use the PHP file nothing happens.

Example:

on mouseUp
member("mx").filename = "http://www.....com/mx2.php"
end


Any suggestions?

Is the PHP script setting the content-type correctly? I suspect it should be set
to text/html or text/plain

Oh well... you could do it using the preloadNetThing/wait for download to
finish/set filename of member method instead.
