Um... You probably don't need anything besides just Flash MX. You probably do not need to generate Flash files on the fly, either.
Actionscript, the scripting language in Flash MX, allows you to do things like dynamic including other content, loading external variables, and, of course, remoting. You probably want to create a shell movie that loads components based on the characteristics of the user.

The body of the file will stay the same but I will need a new ending and loader at the beginning added to the file. The way things are going to be set up is in the site administration tool the admin will have the ability to upload a flash file, assign it to one or more dates/special events (These are cards for anniversaries, birthdays, etc.), then upload the file to the remote server. Flash will then have to take the assigned data and prepend and append it to the card. What I need to know is what technology I need to accomplish this. Can I do this without having to use Flash MX to generate the files? Do I need the Data Connection Kit? I am relatively new to flash and any help or advice you can give would be great. Thanks in advance for any help. Brian __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
