Okay, this is something i’ve always wanted to know. How do u make those nifty greeting cards that u get in ur email from friends. Is there a specialized programme that u use or is flash capable by itself. ---

you can use Flash by itself, or a 3rd party program for making the graphics… to send _personalized_ cards though, you will most likely have to use a server-side script of some sort 🙂 ---

you know, some e-cards let you leave a message for the reciever of the card… with a server-side script, you store that message in a database and pull it out when requested 🙂
