I have an e-card that's in flash.
The client wants to send the ecard out to everyone on their list (as a link in their email)... but wants the e-card to be customized w/their name... is this possible?

append a variable to the url, parse it into the swf path, and voila.

i concur. but don't you have to use php or asp or something?

use PHP to parse the email list and names, then each email is built individually with a varaiable in the PARAM tags.

yes either of those languages would do it.
If you could do it all in Flash I'd be interested to hear how...

php+db would be great. you would just need to loop users in a db, pregreplace() a dummytag with their name + a link with their unique id.
The user woul just have to click that unique link to a php page, that would print it within flash's embed/object source parameter.Flash would then load the user's necessary info.
If you don't have acess to php/mysql you can append a link to ther card page like:
http://mypage.com/index.htm?name…and use javascript to parse the variable and, like the example above, write it within the swf embed object ource paremeter.
Flash would then be ready to use the name variable.

1. create a simple php form
2. have the form go through the email/name list and send an email for each email there is
3. pull the name from the list and attach to each email with PARAM VARNAME=NAME (or something like that)
4. let ir rip and you are done
