RE: Dynamic Flash
Make sure your webserver can server up .flv files. IIS doesn't (not sure if
things have changed for the latest one) by default.
Browse to where you think the flv is and see if it's being served up.
If it is, try playing it in a regular video player, does it work?

Re: Dynamic flash or images for MySpace?
You can make a simple flash file that will read in XML. Is the text
the same for everyone, but changes periodically? If so, it's super
easy.
Here's a quickie example. This is probably not the best ever example
of flash code, as I'm just learning it. But you'll get the idea:
On your first frame have code like so.
loadText();
// Load the variables from the text file
function loadText() {
var textXML = new XML();
textXML.ignoreWhite = true;
textXML.load("URL of your CFM page here that outputs XML dynamically");
text.XML.onLoad = function (success) {
if (success) {
ontextXMLLoaded(this);
}
};
}
function ontextXMLLoaded(loadedXML) {
// grab the setup node to get the basic set up data
var arNodes = loadedXML.firstChild.childNodes;
var setUpNodes = arNodes[0].childNodes;
var dynamic_text = setUpNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue; //Get your
text here. This path will depend on your xml
// Do something here to set the now grabbed "dynamic_text" to output
on your movie in a field called "txtField"
txtField.text = dynamic_text;
}
