Hi All,

I was just wondering if its possible to build a flash application that can publish its own swf files based on user input? Might be a silly question but i cant seem to find an answer to it anywhere?!

Many Thanks

no, a swf cannot create another swf.

on the other hand, a swf can save data that's used by anoth swf and that other swf then appears to be customized (per your user's input if you wish).

Hi Kglad, apologies for the late reply. Thankyou, thats useful to know. Really what i wanted to do was to create a flash app that would allow non flash users to be able to create new flash assets based on a template but adding their own text etc. I guess i could build an interface which would output to .as files? Those could then be compiled with flash builder or similar? Bit of a long shot i think!

Depending on your other skills, you could write something that would either write JS code or incorporate a back-end technology (like ASP or PHP) to add custom flash vars. I think there actually are server-side technologies that will generate a swf, but I'm not sure of the state of the technology.
