I have downloaded a tutorial on how to grab data from a mySQL database and push it through php and xml and into Flash. What I want to do is have admin pages done in dreamweaver where I can update the mySQL database through html forms. I know how do this, but what I want to know is will automatically update the xml file that goes into flash.

Yes, if your PHP outputs the MySQL data in XML format, and you update the database, then the XML will obviously be updated too.

Ok, is it a practical method, do you recommend doing things that way.

Yes, it’s an awesome way of keeping your site updated. You no longer have to start editing in Flash, you can simply use any internet connection to browse to the admin panel and update your site there. That means that you can update it anywhere where there is an internet connection available, which is of course very cool :thumb:
