Flash Presentation on CD

[DMM_ENT]

Hi, gues!

I really need some advise.
I am developing one company presentation that will be run from a CD. This
presentation will be completely done in Flash.
Because it will contain a lot of written info, I want to connect it with some
database.
I don't know how I can create a Flash presentation that communicates with a
database, run search queries, and updates data and still be fully operational
from a normal CD (without the need to use a web server).
I appreciate all your help!

Make sure the computer is connected to the internet. You'll have to get your data from a webservice anyway, so it doesn't matter whether the swf is on a cd or on a hard drive.

Hi,
If you really want things to be populated dynamically.Then You will have to
embed your flash presentation in a html,so its viewable from a browser.Instead
of a Database u can use an CSV file or excel file,you can read from it using
some basic vbscript or Jscript File operation.This is the Easiet way.Simple Way.

But I would rather prefer typing the Presentation Content....

Hey,
No Probs
There is one more way..i thought of using XML as a database.But u will have to be familiar with XML DOM and VBscript or Jscript.

thx
