Flash In a flash #1: essential concepts of dynamic flash
In this new series, we look at Dreamweaver MX and Flash MX.
We start off by taking a look at what Dreamweaver can and can't do with Flash. The fact that there are some things that Dreamweaver can't do for us means that we dive into Flash and do that for ourselves. In order to do that takes a quick tour of the Flash MX interface and the basic terminology that you need in order to survive in a Flash world.
Along the way to becoming a master of Dreamweaver, Flash and PHP we'll be looking at how we can get information from PHP and databases into our Flash movies, how we can get information from our Flash movies to talk to PHP scripts and get it stored in databases and how we can use PHP to dynamically build up our Flash movies. The secrets of stages, scenes and ActionScript will all be revealed.
