Hi Folks,

I wonder if someone can help me on this. Ok, I have a Dynamic Text Box,
which I will populate with an external txt file using the LoadVariables
command, now, for updating purposes this would be the easiest solution for the
user, since just update the text file and flash will load it......But are there
any other alternatives...U see, what I want to accomplish is for the user to
update his/her site without needing my assistance....This site is being done
completely in flash mx, are there any other alternatives. Also, how can I have
links within the Dynamic text Box, where u go ahead and roll over and it
changes color, u know, like HTML......Would appreciate any feedback in regards
to this matter. Thanks and God Bless.....

I have a poll on my site that is done with php and mysql. I'm using an html
form to update the mysql database. Flash loads, php talks to mysql and then
prints the data back to php and then to the site. It's been so long since I
actually created all that, and had a lot of help, that it would be tough to
show you.

So the short answer is yes, you can do this with an html page that your end
user would go to and input the data. The data would reside in a mysql
database, and be stored until flash tells php to go get it. The long part is
figuring out how to tie all the pieces together. Hope this at least steers you
in the right direction.
