I have a little flash movie that loads in dynamic text from the file ccText.txt. I also have a little flash interface so my client can: - enter a greeting and change the contents of ccText.txt. I am using CF because it's just whats installed on this particular server (normally I'd use PHP!).

No.  this works well and I understand why you'd mention it, but I'm pretty experienced with flash. >Incidently, you do realise that every user will see the same message? >If this is what you're after, then an easier way would just be to set a >CF variable to the message (URLEncodedFormat)  and pass it directly >into the flash using object/embed parameters.  No file writing involved >- much more efficient. The message is for the client to write to the user.  It is meant to be seen by everyone, but it is also something that she can update as needed without having to deal with any internet innards....  just a flash interface.

I have a little flash movie that loads in dynamic text from the file ccText.txt. I also have a little flash interface so my client can: - enter a greeting and change the contents of ccText.txt. I am using CF because it's just whats installed on this particular server (normally I'd use PHP!).

No.  this works well and I understand why you'd mention it, but I'm pretty experienced with flash. >Incidently, you do realise that every user will see the same message? >If this is what you're after, then an easier way would just be to set a >CF variable to the message (URLEncodedFormat)  and pass it directly >into the flash using object/embed parameters.  No file writing involved >- much more efficient.

Homesite+... it ships with Dreamweaver MX and MX 2004.  I don't think you can buy it separately, but it is basically CF Studio updated for CFMX. Paul Kenney paul@pjk.us 916-212-4359 ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

HomeSite+.  If you buy dreamweaver, you get homesite+ for free (on windows, at least).  And cheaper than CFS used to be. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

HomeSite+, which *is* CF Studio, with a few nice but minor improvements.  Its included free in the Dreamweaver package.  I bought DW 2k4 recently and stuck with it for about an hour before I went 'back' to HS+.   Probably need to just delete HS and force myself to give DW a chance. -- ------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson,     matt@mysecretbase.com MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com ------------------------------------------- --

No.  this works well and I understand why you'd mention it, but I'm pretty experienced with flash. >Incidently, you do realise that every user will see the same message? >If this is what you're after, then an easier way would just be to set a >CF variable to the message (URLEncodedFormat)  and pass it directly >into the flash using object/embed parameters.  No file writing involved >- much more efficient. The message is for the client to write to the user.  It is meant to be seen by everyone, but it is also something that she can update as needed without having to deal with any internet innards....  just a flash interface.

You might as well pickup a copy of the original DWMX off ebay, rather than get 2k4. I don't think they made any improvements to Homesite+ between releases. -adam ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
