put an iframe into a flash document and just load a .php page within that iframe?

or am I going to have to learn all about actionscripts now?

Do you mean have an entire page be a flash movie and load and HTML frame inside that main flash movie?

Fuck. Never seen that before.

However, you can have a flash movie, that loads a movieclip on an upper layer that calls data from an external script, with which the upper-layer-movie can read, parse and display however you want. Under that scenario; yea, you'd need to bone up on some action script.

Hopefully some bad ass person knows the answer to your original question.

well, here is what i wanna do

I have my site, and there is one section that is going to have dates and dj gigs added and taken off like every week...so normally i would have to go into the flash document and edit them like 2-3 times a week and that would get a annoying...easy, but annoying

i would much rather have a .php page that I just enter the info into, and the flash movie calls up that .php page in an iframe when it loads...that way I can just create a script and plug dates into it, and it will take off and add dates for me, and the flash homepage will just call that php page...see what I am saying?

what would the best way for this to be done without having to open flash and reupload the entire flash movie?

No its not possible. You can use php and read data from it, then show the data on text areas in flash, but actionscript cannot parse all the possible html tags.

Hit me up on ICQ for more infos ;)

try something like this...

then you'd only have to edit a text file.

Or use XML... or append text as variables to the end of the embed query string.

A simple txt file is probably the easiest if the formatting doesn't change too much.
