1/put only the parts you’re NOT going to update in your basic fla 2/ put all the rest in different other flas, so you can use loadMovie to bring in the content (swf’s) 3/put your text in simple notepad text-files and load these or 4/buy Generator to load in dynamic content 🙂 ---

An “add-on” to Flash to incorporate dynamic content, in your fla you just put placeholders for text, swf or images, and generator templates load the content in. Check out [www.macromedia.com/software/generator/](http://www.macromedia.com/software/generator/) but it’s very expensive ($648 if you own Flash…). ---
