Dynamic Functionality in Flash MX:
Enhancing the Flash Experience for User and Developer

Potential clients often seem to have numerous preconceptions about the
projects they want built, and often times those preconceptions can be
based on misunderstood information. One of the more frequent
misunderstandings is that Flash-built applications are difficult, if not

impossible to maintain, update, and edit once complete.

This discussion will demonstrate typical development-cycle uses of the
dynamic capabilities of Flash MX and how these features can streamline
production and maintenance of a simple application.

Topics addressed:
Preloading Flash Movies Loading and displaying dynamic, external text
Loading and displaying dynamic, external photos Flash Combo Box
Component

Sample application:
Simple Photo Gallery
