Hi,
A quick question. I want to use an XML file for the contents of my nav whose display is controlled by CSS but which changes depending on what button a user presses in a flash movie. Is this possible?
I'm good at Flash but lacking in CSS (don't really get it yet and XML). ANy good basic starting points? This is going to be a learning project.

make sure you know the limitations of css in flash. there are quite a few as the support for cs isn't quite there (at least not the last time i checked in CS3).
here's a dated article about this:

Read the sections on XML and CSS in the "Learning Actionscript 3.0" book in the Flash CS3 documentation. It's really easy I'm generally pretty bad with code and I learnt it in little over an hour so any doofus will get it.

OK cool. I take it CSS is like stylesheets in Indesign? If I change a property in the CSS it will change throughout the site? Yes. I've tried searching for a good introduction for CSS online, so far no luck. I will check out the CS3 doumentation now.
Cheers.

not sure how indesign handles css (nor did i know you could do that) but yes, that is the point of css - making presentation much easier to handle and change site wide.
