A Flash application can communicate with its local environment and pass data back and forth to a remote server. You might be wondering, "Application? Isn't Flash usually a movie?" Flash is probably best known for its animation capabilities as well as interactive media, but Flash is also well suited for working with external data and interactive data visualization. In this chapter you will learn some of the basics of working with external data in Flash, including XML formatted data, so that you can build your own Flash applications. |
