flash actionscript: batgirl_Sa,

Your goal may be possible by virtue of the children's software you read
about, but the Flash product does not provide a way to publish SWFs outside
of the IDE (the Flash authoring environment). There are 3rd party compilers
and, in fact, 3rd party IDEs such as SWiSHmax, but none of those can create
a SWF that creates new SWFs.

this......

voice on each page of the story
2) after story is finished to be able to save it as a flash swf to publish
anywhere.

can anyone help me!!?? :):)

You can create a shell movie that will load text from a text file into a
dynamic text field and load sound from an external mp3 file.

Then you need to name the files in a way they will know which to be shown as
you navigate from page to page. Basically what the shell movie does is
replace the text and the sound as your page naviagation buttons are pressed.

Various pieces include LoadVars and Sound classes.

Children can write their text and save in a text file. You need a way to
record to mp3 files, perhaps Audacity openware sound editor.

With this approach however, the text and sound files will need communication
via http, in other words need to be on a web server internally or
externally. If you are doing it internally, you can use Microsoft Personal
Web Manager or Apache 1.3.

Ambitious, but doable.
