Re: [flasher] dynamic customisable flash quiz

Infocom's eSafe Gateway(tm) has scanned this mail for viruses, vandals and 

suspicious attachments and has found it to be CLEAN.

You might want to look at a cheaper solution like ASP, JSP,

PHP, or CGI.  Flash can dynamically load text files that are

dynamically created by one of these technologies from a

database, or you can use the new XML socket, if you'll be

making version 5 SWFs.  You don't really need Generator for

that, and it's fairly expensive, so I'd avoid it if possible.


If you get you're familiar with a bit of server-side

programming and database interaction, it's a pretty simple

job.
