Is it possible to make text content for a site in Flash be changed/updated by  
someone without having to take the route of Flash? Like I have a text file in notepad, or Word and the text will automatically appear in the swf file?

If this is possible, how’s this called? Maybe someone can point me to a tutorial  
somewhere.
