Hello. I am currently a student doing the OCR Computing A2 coursework module. I would like to inquire wheather it is possible to use Macromedia Flash 5 as a programming platform for my project in the context of the whole project being or incorporating this program. I look forward to your reply.

Hello Parwiz,

You are right to ask this question. It is possible to do a project in Flash, but if you were a student of mine I would try to discourage you! There's nothing wrong with Flash at all, but it is difficult to see how a Flash project will allow you to do the detailed Analysis, design, testing and documentation which you need to do for a good project.

At the end of the day your teacher should decide. If you can persuade your teacher that it's a good idea, then go for it!
