How to set up a guestbook that stores entries in a MySQL database. Includes all source files. Great first project for flash designers who are learning to implement back-end data systems. By Joseph Miller
This tutorial/article attempts to explain one method of loading external data (different server/domain) into a Flash movie. This allows for constantly changing updated data to be included in your flash movie that is based on an external data source. It includes all the necessary scripts along with an example of a search engine based on results from an external source. By Jeffrey F. Hill
Due to high interest in the slide show (recently published on the flashkit.com site) I have created a new slide show with several more advanced features and eliminated some pitfalls:1. a dynamic menu, which can be externally manipulated;2. automatic slide advancement;3. preloading of slides for individual frames;4. complete management of slides from external files.
