Re: FLASH: Dynamically populated, scrollable, selectable text

[Mike Weiland]

Neal,


  I don't know where you got your info regarding Generator, we have not had

any problems with Generator. I use Generator in two situations my own web

site www.CertificateCreator.com is a flash/generator site hosted by

igenerate.com and then with my work at Wasatch we use offline Generator to

dynamically create assets for our Director projects. Of course it's like

anything, if you put it on a box that can't handle the amount of traffic

then you are going to be in trouble whether it's Generator or anything. If

you are expecting a lot of traffic then it would be beneficial to put

Generator on it's own server, so seperate it from your other servers. But

that is recommened for most things, in an ideal situation you don't have

your SQL server, Web and exchange servers all on one box or your bound to

have problems.


Good luck,


Mike Weiland
