Is it possible to make a table in Flash like in Html with the alterating color lines? Also have it populated by a database like a message board.

Thank you,

Matty

It’s not quite as easy as it is with HTML, but you can do it.

The table look itself, would have to be made by hand. Then, the text fields would be added.

Create your text fields as “dynamic” text, and then give each one a variable name. Then you just have to set the variables to populate the table.

I could probebly draw one up for you if you’d like, or you can just play around until you get it right… let me know.
