This weekend I taught myself Flash and documented a bunch of things that
I learned. I added 10 new viewlets to my secretagents library, and
we've got a ton of new Flash tutorials to add on top of these. Flash
kicks ass!

I just created a cool one this morning about the "loadvariables" action
in Flash. This allows you to pull data from a server side file that
contains URLEncoded data like:
&first_name=Steve&Last_name=Nelson&Company=SecretAgents.com
The cool thing is that this file could be generated from a database
query, and could simply be a Fusebox Fuseaction. This loadvariables
fuseaction will probably be the best way to send/receive data to and
from a Fusebox application and a Flash movie.
Nothing really changes with Fusebox when using Flash. The methodology
explains the conduit between the UI and the database. It does make
Fusebox "dsp" files a little boring, because they would simply display
the <object> tags for calling the flash movie. Then the rest of the
Fuseactions would either pull data from the database or
insert/update/delete data from the database (i.e. the act files).
Anyway the tutorial for this loadvariables action is at:
