Sure. basically just have your server scripts output data as XML or whatever format you prefer. Have flash call the scripts to load the data, then render anything you want based on that data. What could be easier! :)

Well, one question I'd have is why do you need to use Flash in this scenario? Building and outputting XML would seem to me to slow your app's performance. IMO, you'd be better off making a partial Flash page (to display whatever fancy graphics and animation you've got going on) and using the ASP form controls to collect your user input.

What could be easier? I'll tell you what could be easier... using asp form controls would be easier than building XML from Flash and outputting to your .NET business layer, who then, in turn, parses the XML and passes the raw data to your data layer. ;)
