never mind my last post :) I just use the easy way, read the XML-formatted
text file (located outside the root) from PHP then pass it to Flash, and
Flash make it an XML object :) This way, I don 't have to modify my existing
code :)
thanks anyway.
PS: Please let me know if this way of doing still have some security hole.
Thanks in advance

That 's a great plan. The XML file should be secure from the
user trying to access it via HTTP; they 'd need to secure root
access to the machine or somehow exploit the webserver with
to read it (rather difficult).
You 'd probably want to validate the user in your PHP script
(e.g. ask for a username and password in Flash, send it over
to PHP using XML.sendAndLoad() and check the data against the
XML file before sending data back (if it fails, you can send
an error).

Jim
