Would anyone care to attempt to step by step (briefly) how you can take a [fully functional HTML Shoutbox](http://www.sbskateboarding.com/newness.html) and get it working in Flash?

From what I’ve read I’m guessing:  
**1.** Script your current PHP to output to XML. (_can you simply convert existing PHP to output to XML by adding and deleting code?)_

**2.** Create Flash interface.

**3.** Send data from Flash directly to MySQL database then have the new data displayed by calling into Flash.

Any ideas and/or comments welcome.
