Even though other web design techniques have become more competitive with Adobe Flash for adding interactivity and animation, Flash still has many fans. Adapting a Flash form to work with ExpressDB is copy-and-paste simple.

The example below is nothing fancy, but it’s exactly the one included with this Flash forms tutorial, which covers the basics of how to set up a form in Flash that will post to a web address. The only customization we’ve made is to change the action URL for the form to one associated with our ExpressDB database. Try it!

If you were doing this for real, you would most likely want to take advantage of some of the more interactive features of Flash, such as drag-and-drop selection of options, that go beyond what you could easily do with HTML and JavaScript. As long as the data to be submitted can be reduced to a standard web form post, it will work with ExpressDB.
