Hello everybody. I'm new to this community and I'm actually relatively new to flash and actionscript but I could say I have fair knowledge about them. So anyway, I usually build flash websites the traditional way using timeline animation and scripting. Today I had a job interview and they said they're looking for someone who can develop any web design into a Flash CMS with a back-end office for the client to edit the content without having to edit the FLA file or any code.

Accordingly, I'd like to know where and how to start. What are the main concepts I should follow/adapt? Are there any good detailed tutorials out there that I could read/watch?

Any help would be so much appreciated :)

ok I figured out the concept of doing this... it's basically putting all the data inside a MySQL database and then loading them into Flash using PHP... I have two questions though...

1. Let's say I stored the URL of a video file inside the database along with the title and length for example... I know how to obtain this information from the database but what actionscript 3.0 can be used to make the video appear on the stage once the file is published?

2. How do I create an admin panel and link it to the front end of the site so that once I do changes in the admin panel (like uploading new images or something like that) they are reflected in the front end?

If you can answer any of the two questions or have some good tutorials on it I'll be very thankful...
