ultradev, flash 4/5 and database of news articles...

[aamaker]

Im looking for a way to (from Ultradev / flash 4 or flash 5)

1) display text titles from a MS Access Database. (the database contains 2 fields - one for the article title and another for the article content)

2) have the titles (in flash) then act as links to spawn a new window that reads that particular database articles' content in simple HTML formatted new window. (not flash)

Is this do-able? Has anyone seen a tutorial on doing this -- its basically a news article system -- but Im lost!

Any suggestions/advice is greatly appreciated!

Anything is possible (everything you want at least) and I could tell you how to do it all, except the flash part. There is a way to generate flash on the fly, but I'm not sure. Maybe with some..."generator". Wait a minute....I think there is one. It might even be called Generator. Try

. If not you could always see what Flash MX and ActionScript have to offer. The rest of your questions are just basic Ultradev features, check the manual. Ryan
