So in a recent proposal, a client said they wanted a website in which all band members can put in a news update at any time.
Here's what I am thinking.

I can probably design a program with a "Topic" text area (for the band members to give a title to their post), a drop down menu with all five band members names on it (so the post will be labeled with their name on it), it will automatically have a time and date stamp on it, and then a text area for them to put their post.

So I assuming I need, is the code to collect the information, store it in a file on a server, and then incorporate all of the information in a news area of a website.

Please let me know.

basically you just need to create a simple CMS system which stores the data in a mysql database (with PHP or ASP) and then an outputting system (PHP or ASP) which is being called from flash and all the data is grabbed and inserted dynamically into flash.

There are a bunch of tutorials on how to create a CMS and on how to grab data from a database and output it an XML (which is the best format for flash)

Good Luck
