well your most likely going to need a database, if you want to do it correctly. you can use, asp, or php. Or you can just write to a textfile, and read it into flash ---

it is if you have access to a database. Its much better. They use a textfile because not everyone has access to a database. ---

hopefully we’ll have something up on [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) soon. I think Kitiara is planning a shoutbox PHP tutorial, and so am I. It will be interesting to see the different approaches. if you need any help hit me up on AIM. ---
