Hello, I love creating Flash sites and I've been wondering something that someone can hopefully help me with! Ok, normally when I want to edit a Flash site, I have to go through my Flash program and re-upload it. My question is: Is there a way to create a Flash site where I can go to an administration area and edit the site right online? :crying:

Yep - but you'll need to have the content/dynamic colors/etc in your site come from an XML doc / text files or a database. There's no real way to edit an FLA on the server, and have it compile an swf. (There are some tools for generating swfs serverside, but think thats really not what you need).

From there, you can actually build flash admin tools that will update / edit / add content - if you're not comfortable with AS->server communication - it may be more effecient to build or have someone build a php/asp based admin tool to edit the content.

Hope this gets you started down the right track.
