Hey there,

Bona fide n00b here. So this might be totally ridiculous.

We're currently building a fairly big dynamic website, and I was wondering if there was a way to have an animation that updates and move in real time as there's action on the site.

ex. red bulbs light up each time a user posts something on the forum or whatever. It'd be all related to the mysql database.

I appreciate I'm not being very clear here. Although links to similar applications would be infinitely appreciated.

Cheers,
Jaytooz

You could change one swf with another with some javascript. Or you can use ExternalInterface (http://injun.ru/flash10api/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html) class to make javascript envoke methods inside swf. Swf will accordingly react.
