I have a book called “Server-Side Flash: Scripts, Databases and Dynamic Development” It has all kinds of cool scripts and stuff like Forums and stuff, might want to check it out. The ISBN is 0-7645-3598-6.

I didn’t write the book…I just bought it a few weeks ago…it is actually intended for Flash 5…which I was running at the time. I just picked it up at Barnes and Noble…sorry if I implied it was my book…I am not that good at this flash thing for that…It was written by William B. Sanders and Mark Winstanley.
