Hmm..
Can anyone help?
I am fairly new to action scripting (done a little from tutorials but not a huge amount)
However I should point out I do know ASP pretty well...
Anyway my question is,
If I have a flash 5 movie, in which I want text to come out of a access database, preferably using ASP..
How do I go about it...?...
I have searched the tutorials but haven't found anything to help..
Am I missing something, is there a tutorial that could help??
Many Thanks, in advance...

I don't know asp that well but I was able to load in text from a microsoft access database into a flash movie using ASP - thanks to this great tutorial/s

My Problems
I want to create a diary system ie not just pull in the text but also order by data and spilt into headed columns etc.. I know how to do it using Ultra Dev / html/asp
Any tips on the key bit of code to sort by a field and getting this into flash.
The flash 2 link shows how to call the mailto client I just want to make it a simple URL I think
The tutorial email link pulled from database - results is a recordset EmailAddress is a field in a table
results = results & "<A HREF=" & Chr(34) & "mailto:" & _
oRS("EmailAddress") & Chr(34) & "><u>" & _
oRS("EmailAddress") & "</u></A>" & _
vbCrLf
can anyone make this code just a simple Url link not a maito one.
I think the key thing in this tutorial is that you have to url endode everything thats sent to flash.
I have a diary system which displays HEADING, DATE, SECTION, can I display the data in the 3 heading cloumns and order by these database field in a flash movie ?
Does this require Flash Generator for this kind of thing.
How can you split things horizontally do you table it like you would in Ultra Dev?
I know the text box in flash can be set to html ?
What kinda data base? If it is a username in, info out. That can be done without ASP. Reply what kind it is.
the database is microsoft access
there is a table called diary with the fields
date
heading
section
there is a another table tblSecurity
username
password
level
I will be using the stuff in tblsecurity for a login admin page area which will then allow an administraor to alter the diary content
this won't be visible to web users visiting the flash site. (back end) - no problems here
problem
I just want to display DATE HEADING SECTION content in columns in FLASH and be able to order the colum display ie by date or heading or section.
If I don't need ASP then how do I go about things ????
Thanks
