Well, I just installed Laszlo onto a Win2000 machine. What we're wanting to do is have a PHP script generate the XML, and then pass it to Laszlo to generate the Flash. Is it even possible to do such a thing? Sorry for the newbie question :)

This has been done in the past using a JSP. In fact, that's what the Laszlo In 10 Minutes does. It's not really recommended though - your app will fully recompile every time, and won't take advantage of any server-side cacheing.

If I were you I'd look at writing your app so that it was dynamic where it needed to be dynamic.

By the way, this is Laszlo in 10 Minutes:

Thanks, that's actually what we decided to do over here :)

what you might consider doing is having static stuff (xml/lzx) for the UI and use JSP as the "data" xml. That way you can still use your jsp to generate xml, but you wont have to recompile. And you can still get the dynamic app you are looking for by adding hooks in the ui that get info from the data xml.

You just described exactly how we're going to implement this. :)
