client updated .swf file that displays message on page

[AFFIX]

I have a client has a daycare web-site, and she wants to be able have a way that she can display if school is cancelled or delayed, she also wants to be able to update it with having to go through me to update. I was thinking of using XML and Flash to accomplish this, but i am not sure how i should go about this, so that it is very easy for her to update. She has no knowlage of how her web-page works.
I was thinking of creating a little area on the home page were she could log into and post a comment onto the home page displaying her message, again though i am not sure how to go about doing this.
Any help or comments is greatly appreciated

you've got it right, do it w/ XML. Create the document like this (just an example):

<xml>
<message text="the message"/>
</xml>

and load that into flash at runtime to get the message. Then build a web app that can edit that XML...basically just a textbox and a save button. This can be done in php/asp/jsp/whatever you want man.

ok so i am going to create a file in notepad, write the xml code then save into the root of the website file. Then in flash create a web app that displays the message that is in the xml file. I want it so that when she logs onto the web site, she comes to a admin page were she can edit the xml file and save it. So then the message will display on the main page, in a flash app.
I am thinking of just having a flash app that displays the xml message that she saves.
wow this is kinda confusing, whats the code to put into the flash if i want to have her sign in through the flash app? i havent worked with php/asp/jsp so i need some help with that.
Thanks for the help
