[quote author="Solarpitch" date="1234385839"]Hi PaddyX... I've never used XML/SWF only PHP but have you taken a look at the link I provided above? I cant imagine the format of implementation is too different to that in the example. Infact it should be exactly the same except your referencing an xml_source instead of a php_source.

The code will gather the xml data from the source file and embed it into what ever controller you call it from.[/quote]

Hi Solarpitch, yes I saw it and referred to it when I was trying to get PHP/SWF integrated a year ago. In fact some of the questions on the blog are from me. I am not an expert but seems to me that XML/SWF has been significantly rengineered, so I don't think that you can just swap in an XML file for the PHP file. For example the charts.php engine has gone and most of the implementation is done through a AC_RunActiveContent.js Javascript file instead. But the perception of reengineering may just be down to my inexpertise. Certainly my implementation of XML/SWF is a lot cleaner than my implementation of PHP/SWF. I have had no need to use a helper file this time around.
