We are doing a flash animation that include text. This flash animation is a presentation that will go into a cd.
We need to do the flash in a way that someone could update the text on the presentation without having to have skill on flash or use the Macromedia Flash.
For intance, lets say that the what the flash does is animate a text like my name REZUMA, and then other person want to animate his name instead, is there any way of doing it without having to modified the .fla? maybe letting theflash animation read from a text file...more options?

You might try writing up a short VB script to put on the CD that will create/modify a text file in the temp directory (or somewhere else) to hold any variables. You could then call the script using fscommand(exec) to update the file, load the variables from that text file, and so on.
I've never personally tried this approach, but it seems to make sense (I'll probably try it now though). Let me know how this works out if you try it.
