hi john xml is the de-facto way of externalising data for flash (there are others but xml is the best imo) and as3 implements e4x (as2 was much more clunky for this)
i'd recommend picking up essential actionscript 3 by colin moock ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Essential-ActionScript-3-0-Colin-Moock/dp/0596526946/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272638172&sr=8-1) or friends of ed's foundation actionscript for flash and flex ( http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=9781430219187) one of the friends of ed books and digging through that if you're not sure as there's a lot of information, from loading external data to accessing and manipulating that data once it's in flash, to take in the other option is to start digging through the flash help files although i think you'll find this tough going good luck allandt On 30 April 2010 14:17, John Singleton <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi; > I've built a template for a Web site that I'd like to use for all pages, > but be able to change the content of each page.
