My approach would be to have some PHP classes server side that talked to the CMS DB to pull out whats required. then package as XML to return to flash. so flash wouldnt have to talk directly to drupal (which can only return html basically). I guess this ends up being an XML adapter for drupal, which seems like a big project in general but might not be too bad for just say pulling out categories or news items in a set category. however nice the code is once you really get into it, drupal seems like a lot of work to pull info from, whereas wordpress seemed to have nicely document + simple database classes. if you have any docs, it would be nice to see. /dc _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
