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.
