Re: FLASH: Flash & Generator

[Cheri Harder]

What will you give me for my 1989 Eagle Premier?  (Sorry, Mike....couldn't

resist.)  Flash 3 could not dynamically change content.  However, with Flash

4 we have Text Fields that can be fed variables from an external file.  It's

really pretty cool.   Not like Generator's direct connection to a database,

but some nifty things can be done with it.
