Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / November 2003

Could someone please help.

I'm a student, who is used to working with html and Dreamweaver, but for my latest project I have to create a website in Flash. Further more it needs to include forms, but more importantly the site has to be able to be updated i.e. changing the body of text, adding articals and the additional page. I currently use flash mx but could upgrade to 2004 if needed. What else do I need, software wise to build what I have described above? And more importantly, is what I wish to do possible. Now I heard databases can be attached with Flash Remoting which I have never used, do I need that? Or have I to use Coldfusion - which I doubt I can afford. I don't know where to start? can someone please point me in the right direction.

P.S, I'm currently using a mac. Isn't Flash Remoting PC Only.

HELP , HELP, HELP ? - I'm over my head this time.

Thankfully,
Peter
