    Extract text from fla?

    We've got a client who wants to update an existing flash course and they want to move all the text from the existing static text field into xml.

    Is there any way to have flash somehow export all that text?

    I suppose I could write a function that executes on every frame and traces out the html text of every field on each frame and then just copy and paste that and wrap the xml tags around it...

    Can anyone else think of any other ideas??

    Also, the client wants to be able to make updates without having to know any html. Is the best way to do that to create a little RTE exe that they can use to "page" through the nodes, make their updates and use something like SWF Studio to write a new xml file??

    Those were the best methods I could come up with...anyone else???

    Thanks!!

    Is this an online or offline application?

    It's an online course delivered via an LMS...

    We did discuss setting it up in a database, but they want to stick with xml...
