Hello all.

I’ve but two days to complete a flash version of a PHP/MySQL driven website, which will serve as the eye-candy version, but with the same functionality.

As I’m pretty inexperienced with AS, I’m wondering how to crack this case best.

I need to have a table of contents which is filled with the title fields of some database records. If a title is clicked, the appropriate data must be fetched from the db and displayed in some textfields (title, contents, links, files).

How would I do this best?

Thanks!
