The company I work for is currently trying to find a way for online users to submit classified ads. I thought that maybe a Flash WYSIWYG editor would be a good solution but I have a few questions:
The biggest thing that concerns me is getting the data out of Flash. Since it's going to be a WYSIWYG editor, how would we capture that in data? Obviously we can't have the user take a screenshot. Would that require looping through and grabbing the TextFormat off of every character and somehow parsing that for a database? Is there a way to convert .text to html format?
Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone seen Flash used in a similar way? Thanks.
