Hello,

Was just wondering if it is possible to build some sort of sort of message board in flash using input and dynamic text....If so does anyone know of a good resource to help me through this process

It can be done. Some serverside scripting/database interaction will hold the data (PHP is probably easiest to learn).

If you want to build a "live" chat application have a look at XML sockets which will give you realtime interaction with the server.

Never seen one yet! As for a chat, you'll allways need a server side script of some sort.
You can check

-> .FLA (SOURCE) -> OTHERS (Page 1) -> In-A-Flash Message Board

Link was dead this morning... So didn't post it! Have a look at this one:

When you click the Start Presentation button... Be patient! Pretty slow to load up! But it will! Must be something to do with F2s!
