Hi,
Is there a way for flash to pick up my ASP? I design a website for work and one of our main features is that we provide a list of all the shops we deal with so that people can find their nearest one. I want to create a mini site to showcase a new product using flash but I need the list of dealers on the mini site as well. I currently use Ultradev 4 for the ASP and Flash 5 for the mini site. At the moment I use the loadmovie actionscript so that everything is in Flash but I don't want to link to a url to use the database stuff. Is there a way to do it in Flash? does MX have that capability? I hope someone can help.

I have done this before... But with the help of a flash GURU...

But this is how we did it. First of all, we set up the flash movie to pick up text from a text file (in your case, the text file would include the list of shops). I believe there is a pretty simple way of having flash get text from a text file. It is a built in function I think??? Well, rather than having the flash movie look to a .txt file, it can access a .asp file. And on that ASP page, you can create a recordset to display any text that you want.

The site that I made that uses this technique is located at: www.aviagraf.com. The text on the flash intro on the first page is being taken from a database so the client can update his flash intro.

I hope this makes sense and can help you out.
