flash data integration: Is there an actionscript (or other) way to deliver a dynamically-generated but
static-format graphic file, using Flash.

For example,
User A submits 'Hello, World' to db

User B references web page FrontPage.html
Frontpage.html sends trigger to background file Background.html with Wow.swf
embedded
Wow.swf queries db and inserts 'Hello, World' into dynamic object
Wow.swf exports dynamic object to .gif format
FrontPage.html displays HelloWorld.gif
Users A&B simultaneously scream and wet pants, from joy.

This is where your plan will fail. Flash cannot export gif format at run
time.
