Subject: RE: FLASH: Flash & Generator



i've read the FlashPoint article mentioned, looked under the hood, taken it

for a test ride... but it sure seems that it shows how a dynamic process

can utilize static content, and not external content (ie. all menu &

submenu titles are compiled into the .swf, and not being read in from an

external source).  it looks like a great development technique, but it

doesn't seem to be the solution i'm looking for.


to re-focus my question...


can a .swf grab text-based content from an external source, and put it into

a text field?  I'm led to believe it can (thank you, cheri and mathias).

 if so, does anyone know of any tutorials or resources relevant to the

technique/functions/commands?  i have searched MM support, as well as other

informative and dependable flash resource sites, and haven't found

anything...

No. Take a look at http://www.builder.com/Graphics/FlashPoint/111999/?ta

g=st.bl.3883.plbl

where there also is a downloadable tutorial and FLA.
