what do you want flash to actually do when it recieves the users data?

What i would like is this: User enters details using a form and submits. Then based on this info and using a template, a swf file is created on the server and stored. User can then access this customised swf later when required. Regards

surely would be better storing the user details in a database, then passing them back into the swf at runtime?

Yes, i should have mentioned.. i will be storing the user-entered values in the database.. Then we have 2 options..
1. Generate the swf immediately on the server after storing the values in the database.
2. Generate the swf at runtime when the user requests for the swf Will 2 have performance implications and also make the application look slow for the user as the data is fetched from the db and swf is being built? Which option is better and how best to do it? Thanks

AFAIK 2 is by far the more common approach, and is the one id personally use. Cannot comment on 1 as have never tried.

Would you use somthing like FLEX for option 2? And if i choose to implemrnt option 1, how can this be done? using Ming in PHP?

You certainly could use flex, but you can do a lot between flash istelf and php to store simple db stuff.
