dynamic content in Flash, help!

[ps98104 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Building a site for someone who wants to be able to update some sections of it himself - sort of weblog. He's a Mac guy, but knows nothing about web software. I'm proficient in Flash MX, but don't know much about integrating content on the fly.

Is there a simple way for him to create files and upload them, that will update a site, or portion of one, built entirely in Flash? How do I create a Flash movie to accomodate this content.

Any help/tutorials would be a life-saver!!!!

you could hook up a database to flash.. for instance Access
FLASH <--> CGI / PHP / ASP / ASP.NET and so on <---> DATABASE <--> WEB
INTERFACE (making it easy for your customer to update)

-or- you could load external .txt files .. but imho database is the way to
go
try flashkit.com -> movies -> search database.. you'll find plenty solutions

if you keep all text in external text files and load them dynamically then all he has to do is edit a text file.

similarly with jpgs. load them dynamically and all he has to do is replace old with new (remembering to keep the filename the same)

You know you're old if you can remember when bacon, eggs and
sunshine were good for you.
