Hi

I have a client who has about 35 sales people and want's me to create a projector file that has a price list attached to it. Simple enough, he wants the price list to expire, simple enough again. The part that I have no clue about is that he wants the file to be editable without any knowledge of flash. I.E. the prices for a product change 2 weeks from now, how can he get the new prices on to this .exe file? Is there any type of wrapping software or way to do this? I recomended the whole read from a web site db however the salesmen might be on laptops sometimes or leaving the projector file behind with clients with no web access.

Any help would be great.

What you're looking for is exactly that of what a compiler does...you have to recompile a projector to get any new data stored inside of it. Which is not what you can afford to do without software like Flash, or any other swf2exe compiler.

Have you thought about using an xml file to store the data and tehn it woudl just be a case of distributing a small xml file.
