I have a situaiton like this right....

I have a couple of arrays in Javascript.... right...
Now I'm wondering if there is a level of interactivity that can be allowed with a flash movie/application or summin that I can grab the data from the array and use them in the flash movie....

To detail my prob exactly....
I have six pictures of six different ppl on my home page... And when the user mouses over I want a brief bio to be displayed.... The bio i can get easily stored in jscript arrays but can I do that using Flash? Thats my ques

er...not to sure about that one, but I think you can do it in Flash and Javascript. Flash's Actionscript would be able to help you. However I am a complete flash novice and have no idea how to do it.

btw, dreamweaver has quite good Javasctipt integration :)

An example of this is the flash menu I made for brothercake's ultimate drop down menu (http://www.udm4.com/demos/popup-flash.php). The .fla is included on that page for reference.
