my advice - code you backend first - in either php or xml - and then convert to flash.

I did a board in ColdFusion and Flash - and i would suggest writing yourself a very simple php-based board first.

Once it's working well, start thinking of integrating it with flash.

Also, you could pass a productID from the flash movie to your add_cart.cfm (or whatever it is page) like it was...

It's really quite simple.

I just had one dynamic text box that holds the original post and all the subsequent replies -

Isn't more of a modified guestbook than a forum?

You might want to have all replies under the original post?

It's in the lounge section - called "take 5".

I've been working on the tutorial for a while.....but i'm still tweaking...

Hello,

I haven't seen very much info on Filemaker in these parts.

Have you considered Access, MSSQL or MySQL ?

Hey all,

I think we're leaving out two a very important point here -
