I have a request for Kirupa XML masters. Can someone please write a tutorial on creating a flash site with XML.
The key issues:
Seperating the design from the content.
Having the ability to add images, text and tables to a flash file via xml.
I’ve seen a few tutorials out there on doing this but none of them are focused in this direction. I think that it is something that all of us would like to do since we could then use basic editors and let a “joe user” update their site without having to fire up flash.
Yea, I did something along these lines already. I made a Flash version of an application at my work that generates web sites through content from a DB. I just took it one step further and used SQL Server 2000 to spit out the data as XML and let Flash read and generate it that way. Quite simple actually. I’ll look into building a tutorial on that, you’ll find that it really is quite easy.
That would rock. We’re migrating our whole site to the vignette CMS. We are going to personalize our menus in version two of the site later in 2003 and I’d like to use flash to generate the menus and possibly the content as well. But it all depends on my ability to pull all of the data for each user dynamically.

Yeah I’ve seen that tutorial, it would be great to have one that is from a whole site perspective.
Wish I had time to do the tutorial. Maybe there is some stuff on this in the books I just bought. Anyone read “OOP in Actionscript” and “obert Penner’s Programming Macromedia Flash MX?” I’m trying to decide which one I should start with.
