Re: [school-discuss] Poor Man's (teacher, student) Flash?

[jeremy hunsinger <jhuns@vt.edu>]

well PHP has a flash library that lets you generate flash on the fly 
from source in a webpage, plus given that you can pull dynamically from 
a database in php, this can be an immensely powerful tool, though i 
don't think many are using it in education yet, in part, i suppose 
because of the traditional programming/design split and using this looks 
more like programming than design.
