How could I make a Poll in flash. If it’s not possible in flash is there way to do it in HTML? I looking for a simple poll, no explosions or anything like that. ---

its possible, but not with Flash alone, you would have to use some sort of serverside script (PHP/ASP) to store the data. ---

If you are familiar with scripting you can use a simple serverside script that just lets you save and retrieve variables from a textfile. These scripts can be useful as they are not dedicated to polls, highscores or gustbooks, but can be used for all ( as long as the calculations are made i Flash). I use FlashDB a LOT. Its a cgi script from [www.kessels.com](http://www.kessels.com). It runs on W2000 and unix servers. heres a poll that I use this script with.
