You can create dynamic content in Flash with ActionScript. Using a variety of actions and methods , you can request information from server-side scripts. Those scripts can request information from a database and return the data to Flash. Flash doesn't care what language the scripts are written in, as long as the data is returned in a format it can understand. Some of the most commonly used languages for server-side scripts include ASP, Macromedia ColdFusion, PHP, and Perl. In this lesson you will create an interactive map. The map is accompanied by a dynamically generated list of animals in the zoo. You can narrow the list to show animals from a specific location in the zoo by clicking parts of the map. You can also display additional information about each animal by clicking its name in the list. You will use the LoadVars object, dynamic text boxes, and several components to create this map.
