I would love to help you out, but I have no clue about this subject. If you want to dynamically edit your XML file, that sounds like it does require PHP or mySQL though. ---

Oh, no clue. It took me like two weeks just to learn how to parse an XML file into Flash. That was a while ago, I figured I was getting too ahead of myself so I stopped learning that. I should take it up again though, I think I have a good enough base for it now. Perhaps if h88 or david pop their heads into this thread they could help you out. They are the only people I know here that would know anything about the subject. There are probably others, I just don’t know who. ---
