RIA development tools such as Silverlight, Flash, Flex, and possibly JavaFX and the people who are able to develop for them are becoming increasingly more in demand.

Same as Nesting function post but attached example loads and external swf then calls a root function from the loaded swf

Attached is a simple fla showing a call to a function on the root.

Here is the perfect example of how I have become completely paralyzed by options:

To start, I want to create a basic AS2 framework that will enable me to create a simple menu/content system that does the following:

click a menu item, load it's content.

Wow, sounds simple, right? Well, lets add some more details:

When a menu item is clicked, it should change appearance and function because it represents the current active content.

Attached is a Load/Send example with Flash and PHP.

A good way to test PHP and Flash is by installing WAMP Server on your machine. It is a free package that includes:

-Apache
-MySQL
-PHP

I am new to this but have done enough to get the attached example up and running. WAMP Server has been an excellent way to test database communications.

Nutrox helped me get this up and running by giving me the no caching code in the PHP scripts...
