The drawing board tutorial is fun and easy. But,:h: how do i make a flash enabled site wherein visitors can doodle around …say draw or write and have it like recorded so whoever visits the site can still see all the past visitors’ written messages or drawings. Does it require database and stuff? Thanks…

You’ll need to do some serverside work as well, probably use php and mySQL. If you stick around, I believe Ahmed can help, he made something exactly what you wanted.

Basically, you put all the successive points inside a big array, send this array to a php script that will record it in a file/database. Then you can do the opposite: retrieve the points, bring them to Flash, parse them and redraw 🙂
