I have a question in regards to the best way to incorporate flash in an offsite app?

In an iframe do I pull variables data with PHP and post them to flash using actionscript or are there other better solutions.

Hope this is not a silly question.

 There's probably a few different ways to do this.  You could pull the data (I'm guessing you mean viewer id, display pic, etc) using the PHP SDK and render the page with flashvars containing the data you need.

Yup thats exactly what I was thinking. Thanks again

Do you have any suggestions on tutorials so that I can learn more about this kind of stuff. I have a decent knowledge of actionscript, php but then I never know if I am doing it the best way.

I don't think there are specific tutorials spelling out different approaches to creating apps.  Probably just tutorials describing how to use a specific SDK.
