Hi Abdul, 1/ the first approach has sense but is not my favorite,
2/ I'm more interested by the second approach. A such solution would be really clean and powerfull...not so far from the flexifier application where they use private java api to do the job. So what have we got ? 1/I have got a graphical interface that help me building my slideshow by dragging images,shapes,audio (what i want) to the scene. 2/When pushlishing, an xml description of the scene (images && swf assets to embed at compile, items properties) is transmitted to the server-side script (php, java ???). 3/This script create my MXML file and call the mxmlc compiler to generate the swf... 4/...and return the builded swf. Here, We need to synchronize the output of a shell command to the script return. Can u precise the last point? Have u got a working example. I will make some test. Thanks again for your help. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Abdul Qabiz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If I am right, you want to let user design something and then generate > SWF... > > There are different ways, people do that:- > > 1) You write two pieces (editor and player), editor let users design and you > serialize all information on server in database, xml or whatever.
