Flash CS4 - Advice for dynamic content
I'm working on a project for the University I attend in Flash CS4. It involves creating a flash "flip book" for each college here, with pages for the faculty within the college, special programs, etc. I'm using the flipbook component http://page-flip.com/. The pages can either be images, or SWFs. Here's what I was thinking...
I want to have the pages be dynamic enough so that whoever runs the page for each college can edit some of the information themselves without my intervention. I was thinking of having a web interface where people could just create and edit page content themselves.... and have it go to an XML file. Then in the flash page, have actionscript read in the XML and load the content that way. Has anyone ever worked with this component or have any ideas for me here? Thank you |

I've used that component and it does load it's data from XML. I bought it though so maybe that's something the free version doesn't do. The codes still quite horrible in the purchased version but it does have some extra features/updates.
The problem you'll have with letting people edit the content is if more than one person is updating it at the same time. One of them may overwrite the saved changes from the other person. You could try changing it so that the data is pulled from SQL instead of XML but that would really be adding an other level of complexity to it all. Personally I stuck with XML since I know there will only be one person editing it at a time, either me or the client I bought it for.

It is the purchased version, and yes only one person will be editing at a time. I was just looking for reassurance that this was the best way to go about it. I think I'll write a php web interface that modifies the XML content for each page. Thanks
