Re: [flasher] dynamic customisable flash quiz

[John Dowdell]

I read a little bit about your project, but I don't know much more about it

than that, and would hesitate to take responsibility for recommending a

development path for something I haven't investigated thoroughly.


But perhaps you're thinking about this question about the application we

all share: "How can I make a SWF which changes its text?"? If so, then

people often use LoadVariables or XML connections to pull up an URL-encoded

or XML-formatted text file, respectively. This can then be used to set the

contents of dynamic text fields in a SWF.


(Macromedia Generator can achieve similar types of effects, and much more,

but it merges data and template on the server, rather than in the client.

More information on this distinction is available by searching the

Macromedia Flash Technotes with phrase "graphics generation".)


I may have pulled the wrong question from the description, however. If

there's an actual answerable "how" or "what" type of question on the shared

application then please advise, thanks.
