Hi all,

my name is Jonathan, and I’m very new to all of this. I need to some pointers in the right direction. I’m using Flash pro cs3.

I’m creating a project in flash - part of it is displaying news / notices for the clients. I’ve set up an xml file to store the data - really basic - nodes for : title, displayFrom, displayUntil, noticeText. I have no problem getting this data into my flash site, as there are bountiful tutorials.

However, what I really want to do is to have an ‘admin’ site which will enable the user to update the notices in the XML, and add new nodes (notices). I don’t want them to have to learn XML stucture. I basically hope to put the admin site into an AIR application so they can run it from the desktop - keeping it separate from the online site.

From hunting around I figure I need to send my data from flash to PHP to actually edit the XML file on the server. Does anyone know of any examples that I can work from - tutorials out there - (I can’t find one, but it would be a very helpful tutorial !!!) Or a pointer in the right direction.

Thanks.  
Jon
