Customised greeting cards

Hi All,

I've recently been asked to create a corporate greeting card in flash for the
upcoming festive season - that was the easy part of the request! The more
difficult part that I'm not sure about, is that we'd like to create a stock
email in which we can include a link to the greeting card animation. Each email
with have unique user id name/value pair on the link. When the recipient of the
email clicks on the link to view their card, it will take them to the URL to
play the animation. At the end of animation it will display a message
personalised by the dynamic fields connected to the user id from the link,
including the recipient's name and the sender's name.

My question is, does anyone know of a tutorial that follows these basic
principles or have a similar scenario that I can take a look at? I think I've
seen similar examples of dynamic code in flash using xml files, but I'm not
100% sure where to start. I really just need a push in the right direction.

Cheers and many thanks!

I'll second this request... I'm working on something very similar.

I researched a bit and found this snippet in the html value parameter on and
ecard website:

<param name="FlashVars"
value="ecardPath=hyg1035.swf&indicatedCategory=BirthdayHumor&message=This+is+a+t
est+message+i+sent+to+myself%0A%0AJames+Lytle" />

My custom txt was:

"This is a test message i sent to myself.
James Lytle"

My question is what the best way is to attach this custom "value" to the html
on the page and how the flash interprets all this different pieces within the
"value" statement.
