Hey all, I am wondering... say I have a flash movie being playing on my web browser. Can I make it so this flash movie is able to auto update at a desired time period by itself. And then pick up any updates and execute them? Please tell me what backend software will be needed if any, or can flash handle it all by its self.

sure. tell us what you are trying to auto update...

yep.
use a setinterval to update content from time to time...
ie:
update= function (time){
delay=setInterval(function(){
myVars.load("vars.txt");
}, time*1000)
}//start update with a 60s delay
update(60);

Making the movies update at set times/intervals will be easy. What you want the update to involve will determine the difficulty.

wow thx guys!
well i would have video content converted to flash files these flash files that i would upload to my site would be what would get updated to the main flash file.this change anything u guys let me know? and this all can be done in flash i dont need no php or anything

well, you could create a function that tries to load each, and upon success of finding the file, tries the next sequential file until it fails to load one, then goes back and loads the previous one
but there might be a smarter way to do that.
