flash data integration: ....sort of in the South Park scheme that they'll be able to "take on
adventures" throughout my site. So the idea is this: You come to the landing
page and you can select different hats, faces, shirts, pants, etc. and enter a
name for your character. Then on a button click, you're taken to the main
portion of the site. I'd like the user to be able to actually move their
character (by mouse click and drag) around the site at this point. Is it
possible to do this in Flash (or through some combo of Adobe programs/code)? I
mean the character part, not the click and drag part, of course.
And is it possible for me to save the characters within the site so people can
retrieve their character when they return? I have a feeling that part's a yes,
but some affirmation would help.
Thank you! :grin;

This can be done, but it is beyond my ability, so I am not a person to give you
code. You would have to pull in a database and I think use the xmlSocket. Its
pretty complicated. The database in php could store your characters features
and you would have maybe booleans on the actionscript side that would be true
or false as to whether or not that hat is the one chosen. I bet their is an
easier way around it than I am thinking of in my head. You might want to start
a code and then post your start again on this site and someone like Kglad will
give you some pointers, maybe.
