In my Biology class, the teacher asked one of us to create a blog for the class for extra credit. One of my friends stepped up to the job, and I am helping.


I'm going to create a flash menu for the blog, or possibly make the whole blog in Flash. However, it needs to be an easy-to-use Flash, because my friend has little to no knowledge of Flash. It'd be nice if it coexisted with Blogger so that my friend can use the same blogging tools, and then when he uses the Blogger's tools to make a post, the Flash recieves that information and shows up in the Flash.

Anyone know how to do that?

well it wouldn't be a easy task and would get very complicated fast if you didn't
know what your doing (and i assume you don't, no offense) i would just stick to the pre-made blog.
Though you could always make a flash intro to the site, along with a flash title bar(banner or whatever) and other things just for it.

best of luck.

Well I was thinking it'd be just a simple script that recieves blog post information from a url, then the flash would take that information and I'd use another code to display it in one section.

That would be the only part I don't know how to do.

lol the problem with that is, its not just a line or two of code.
i's assuming you would need to have knowledge in php and other programing languages along with a high level of action script. so unless you do its much easier to just use a pre-made blog.

If you're really serious about this, I had read a good tutorial on it a while ago. Lucky for you, I saved a link to it:
