I have a Flash site that currently uses static text fields. My client has now
come to me saying he wishes to be able to make changes to the text content on a
regular basis.

He does not own Flash or wish to buy/learn it so what would be the best way I
can offer him this control please?

Hello there,

In Flash, you can turn the static textbox into a dynamic one and then load the
text in from an external .txt file. That way, your client only needs to change
the .txt file.
Here is a good tutorial on how to do that.

Hope that helps

Excellent link... I think this will be exactly what I will offer the client, so they can upload changes via ftp.

Many thanks.
