Hello hello ppl.

I got a small question. I made this slide through macromedia captivate, and exported into flash format. Now What i want to do is record the time from the point the user hits the start button, to the point the user hits the stop button. I want to take the the that time/ duration. And store it into a database(ms access) which i created.

This is where the problem lays. I do not know how to get that time from point a —\> point b. Than get that time and store it into a database. Now i know u can use php or asp through flash. BUt i have never done that? \<\<\<–using it through flash that is.

IF anyone can give me a hand i will greatly appreciate this. Thanks in advance
