Basically there are two routes to get this database functionality. You
can either take out a home loan then kill yourself for the insurance and
then buy Macromedia Generator and work with it or you can use good old
ASP/CGI/Java scripts to create a text file with the data you want to
appear in the Flash movie. Then inside the Flash movie you would use the
load var function to load the text file.

If you need any information on how to "format" the text file and the
intricacies ( of which there are few ) of the Load Var function within
Flash then just ask.

Hope this helps.

Maybe this question has been ask hundreds of times by now, but
apparently I
missed it:
Is it possible to make a Flassh movie database driven ??? Or at least
use
some elements extracted from a database script.

Thanx in advance,

Dirk Dulfer
