The answer to this question is pretty simple. Macromedia's Flash being a much hyped about media is gaining popularity fast due to its impressive interface and interactivity. This being irrespective of the fact that sometimes the loading time can be a put off (if the viewer has got a slow Internet connection or the flash movie is huge in size). If skillfully used the beauty of a flash interface and its quick interactive capabilities with minimal loading time can be easily achieved. Coming to Microsoft's ASP (Active Server Pages - a technology that provides a framework for building dynamic HTML pages which enable Internet andIntranet applications to be interactive). ASP is very much a front runner in the race for dynamic and database driven web sites. In relation to Flash, ASP can be used as a bridge between the database and the flash interface.

With the number of Web sites using Macromedia Flash Files (.swf files) to present content, as a Web developer it may come in handy to have an ASP page that could easily read various tidbits of information about a Flash file. Fortunately, Flash files save a plethora of useful information in their headers. This information can be read using the FileSystemObject through an ASP page!

Macromedia's Flash and Microsoft's Active Server Pages technologies are two products with an extremely heavy impact on the world of web site development. Flash allows you to create zippy, vector-based animation and interactivity in a small ActiveX control, and ASP allows you to create dynamic HTML content on the fly. Hopefully, by the time you're done skimming this article, you'll be confident enough to use ASP in the creation of zippy, vector-based Flash content on the fly.

To many developers, a site done in Flash is worth many done in HTML. The ease of use and graphical appeal of Flash is unmatched. Where many of us get stuck, however, is at the question "How am I going to get data into Flash from an external source?" The answer to this question is also the key to a frighteningly successful web site.
