Incorporating Flash in MS Access 97

[mattpearcey]

I have never used Flash software before, apart from the standard user experience. But after posting a thread in one of the MS Access forums, asking how i might make my database a little more presentable and good on the eye; i was told to incorporate some flash software. Like a startup sequence? Does anyone (a) know of a site whare i could download any software (free) from? And (b) does anyone have any ideas of what i could do, and how i might go about doing it?

Go easy on me, im a learner.. Thank you for your help already.

To download a free month trial of Flash 5, go to

http://www.macromedia.com

and download the trial version from the downloads section. There are also tutorials available at both

http://www.ultrashock.com

and

http://www.flashkit.com.

As for inserting Flash into an Access Database, I also have the same question and when I find it out I will let you know.

you do need to use some ASP (if you already know it you'll be good) to interface flash with the database. It is a bit different since you have to use actionscript to pass off the variables to the asp page for parsing. it's not impossible to do flash/asp, but just harder than say a regular asp page hooked up to the database.
