xml editing from within swf

[Ric_Collinge]

Basically, I am creating a website with about 10 pages. Each being a different
section. Each of these pages will have a flash file with a block of text in it.
I'm struggling to find the best way of having my client easily update this text
via some sort of basic content management system. Using .txt files is out as
some of the text contains html links. I am therefore thinking xml. Is there an
easy way of loading a flash swf and editing and saving xml files in realtime
from the flash swf file. (please help, as I don't know a lot about flash and
xml combined

Regard

not with flash alone. You can read xml with flash, amend it, append new
data to it, or create new xml with it but this all happens on the
client PC. You need some way to save it back to the server again, and
that will require a server-side scripting language of some kind.

There are many ways ... but Flash is not enough
Flash has not save built-in capabilities. So you can easily implemen
an xml editor but to save your files you have to count on server sid
languages (asp, php,...
