I'm looking for some feedback here... I had planned to use Access as my
database and link it up with Flash with an ASP file... is this a good way to do
this... should I reconsider and use Excel and utilize XML and link it up that
way....or is there a better alternative... My database will store player''s
info along with their individuall picture's; so, I will need a vehicle to bring
the info over into my Flash Movie...
Please give me some feedback...Thanks
Trey

The cleanest way is to use XML. However, if you're planning on doing
freqent updates, then ASP may work better in the long run.
