Flash Newspaper....

[Filius nullius]

I'm currently developing a website for a student organization at school... I wanted cool effect with minimal effort so I choose to do it completely in flash (dont' worry I have good alts and meta tags as well as a html view of the info)

anyway Its now up to me to develop a newspaper in flash where it grabs info from a database or "text file" (no mysql) and displays it in the flash app; The thing is I don't really know how to use php with flash very well any ideas?


as a last resort I could do it in html... but I would like to keep the design as is.

Could you not make part of the site in Flash? Then create <div>s on top of the area you've left blank. Then you can do whatever you want in 'em.

Thats not really as dynamic as I would have hoped; but it's a thought.

I hate to bump my own topic but... it is after 24 hours..

It looks like I'm going to have to start on this soon, I know that you can use php with flash and parse the info into some sort of actionscript variable but... does anyone know exactly how it works? or maybe an example? I would also need some sort of pagination concept to work... which might be a bit advanced for me
