nevermind guys, i got out how to interface with a parallel port. for anyone else interested its not flash tht interfaces with the parallel port, wht u have to do is create a program in qbasic tht interfaces with the parallel port then export it as an exe file. using the fscommand command in flash u can launch an exe file (the interface program) and u cna have lights for example, blinkin g while u have a flash going on. |

Interesting... Note though that QBASIC isn't the only way to create and program an executable that will communicate with the parallel port. Heck, even Turing can do that. |
