Hello all, I have a big question I am afraid but I dont even know where to begin looking. First off I am a designer, the only way to call me a Developer is that I am really good with Dreamweaver CS4. lol... here is my question:

I am XML and Flash together to creat dynamic content within my flash site. I was wondering if anyone had a clue how to add new content to an XML file with say a Form. This would make my life unbelievable easier... So if anyone could point me to a tutorial on the subject or help me with one I would be eternally grateful! thanks!

Depends on what you want to do, where the data is coming from etc.
But for modifying XML you can use PHP's DOM or SimpleXML extensions.

Store the material in a database, and use PHP to generate the XML
file. Instructions on how to generate the XML are here:
