Right,

I’m currently redesigning my outdated and almost negligible excuse of a site and the ideas are coming thick and fast. I’ve more or less finalised the design I want to use but there are a few things I want to figure before I start coding. All of my code is modular so I can make edits easily but just in case…

1. Is it possible to have the address bar of a browser change everytime the user goes to a different part of the Flash site without reloading the flash? i.e. When the user clicks on ‘info’ the address changes to [www.mysite.com/info](http://www.mysite.com/info)

2. Carrying on from the above, is it possible to type [www.mysite.com/info](http://www.mysite.com/info) and land in that spot within the Flash site?

3. The site will be accessing a MySQL db but I also want to provide an X/HTML version, what’s the suggested way (if there is a suggested way) of storing the data? As in, should it follow XML format or should it be stored as HTML and read into a Dynamic textfield for Flash or…?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!
