employee scheduler

[Lil_chris]

I hope that someone can help me or lead me in the right direction. Let me explain what I'd like to do, I need to set up an admin area or "movie" for an employer to post the work schedule of his employees for display in another movie in the site. I assume that this can be done using a seperate file (ie. .txt or .php) but i'm not totally sure on how to accomplish this. I guess the "admin movie" (filled out by the owner) would post to the text file then the "schedule movie" would read the information for display in the site... can someone help me out?

I'm creating something similar right now, basically it is an admin section that lets the client update their list of links to press releases and newsletters. Pretty simple stuff. I'm using PERL, but you can use any other server-side language (PHP, ASP, etc). You can store the information in a flat-text file or a database of any type.

So what you need to figure out is what server-side you want to use, what database system you want to use, and what method of actionscript you want to use to send and receive information. So check out sendAndLoad() and the loadVars() object.

So basically you set up a form in flash and then when the submit button is pressed all the variables from the form are checked for errors, and then sent to the external script to be processed. Which then returns a url encoded string, which is automatically parsed by flash. Reading up on sendAndLoad and loadVars will return much more information than I can provide.

Thanks webguy...
I think this may be a little out of my league right now, I can probably stumble through the flash portion, but i'm not to familiar with any server languages. I'll deffinately get the books out..... Thanks again for the info
