My understanding of flash(which is very limited) is you use xml. So you have asp generate the xml doc then the flash uses it. While that might not be the case everytime, that's what was done on a couple of projects I've been involved in(I didn't do any flash, I just most of the PHP).

it is indeed the best way to do so, christian. You have to parse your data into a xml document, and than load the document through flash, using the XML functions. there's also something like XMLSocket, but you wont be needing that.

there's a second way as well: you display the data you want to send to flash in the webbrowser, and then use the sendAndLoad functions (loadVars) to get that data. i've written a basic example in 1 of the posts in this forum. click here
