Think of your Flash movie as a very basic HTML form/page, this is because you don't have the flexibility to embed any sort of scripting other than Flash's actionscript in the movie as you can in a JSP. But you can get flash movies to interact with servlets, JSP's, ASP's, a DB, whatever - both to post and display data dynamically.
However, if you're thinking of embedding struts tags in actionscript in a Flash movie that won't work - so in this case the answer to your question is no. We've used flash movies that use xml data sources to create movie objects/dynamic text at runtime. The web application layer in our case were servlets, but Struts could have done the same thing. As long as you understand that the Flash and servlet layer is separate you'll be okay. Then you'll find out about Macromedia's JRun-Flash Generator server and that's a whole different story.

Yeah, okay. It's not a question about using Flash with Struts. Rather, it's a question of using Flash with servlets. And yes, you can, though I don't know how. However, there was this guy named Pierre from France (go figure) on servlet-interest that was/is an expert, though I haven't seen him post anything for months. You can get on servlet-interest at java.sun.com/products/servlet. Was that better? ;-) Mark -----Original Message----- From: Chappell, Simon P [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 5:27 PM Well ... one more thing that we can't joke about, now that someone is actually looking to do this!
