macromedia flash flash remoting : Creating downloadable .swf

Hi - not sure if this is even the correct section to use, but hopefully I can
be pointed in the right direction....

I'm a teacher who has created various Flash based games, quizzes and
interactive activities to use with my students. I have made all of these
available on the internet at my site. Lots of people want to create their own
custom versions of my activities, and I've tried to make this possible.

What I currently do is:
1. Get them to fill in the appropriate data via a flash-based interface I
created.
2. This data is then automatically sent to me via e-mail.
3. I then cut and paste the data into the flash file
4. Then publish this on the internet.

Now, I'm sure there is an easier method that would be automatic, where a user
types the data in and then the finished .swf is generated automatically. I
seems that Macromedia Generator did the trick a while ago, but this has since
been discontinued. I'm now terrible confused between Flash Remoting, Flash
Communication Server and Coldfusion MX.

If anyone could offer some ideas, I'd be really grateful!

Try PHPTurbine or MM Flex for this. If you are familiar with PHP and don't
mind getting your hands dirty then MING might be the answer.
