Virtual Notepads?

[Simon Turner]

I have also posted this question on the general page so sorry if you have already read/replied to this in advance>

I have a client who wishes to be able to make 'notes' on a virtual notepad that can then be read and added too by the next person accessing the site. I was thinking this must be achieved using HTML - can anyone advise on a method of using FLASH so i can achieve the same thing.

Also would require a password entry but have seen various entries on this if you would rather i search them out!!

Thanks
Simon

if you want two users to be able to come along at different times and edit the same data you will require Flash interactionw ith a backend script of some sort. my preference would be PHP. the PHP could hten write to a database or text file (depending on what sort of data is going to be editted). ahh try these tutes which are relevant:
