This example briefly illustrates many of the interactive and dynamic scripting abilities
of Flash 4. Flash 4's ability to present dynamic content isn't limited
to using Generator. While there are tons of amazing things you can do
with Generator (take a look at the Tiffany
& Co. website), there are also tons of things that you can do
with a simple 'ol database, or even a text file, on the backend.
In Part I of this tutorial, we'll look at receiving dynamic values from a CGI,
and duplicating movie clips. For our purposes, that lets us ask a question
with up to seven possible answers. In part II, we'll talk about how
to send the user's response back to a CGI script and how to save that
response.
