Hi, I'm a real noob at Drupal. I've done the Flex tutorials. What I want to happen is for a Flex movie to be loaded in as a "Page" (or node content...) in the big section of the Drupal screen. (Is that clear? My Flex app is the gizmo that can display my custom content, and which the user will interact with. So I want an entry on the main menu that opens this "node", and embeds my Flex app - there.)

I have examples of Flex getting data out of Drupal, and I sorta get that part. I also toyed with a module tutorial today... that looks promising, but surely there's an easier way... But even with that way, the only thing I can think of is for the module_menu to return some callback function that returns page content that loads the HTML that loads the Flex movie... And I don't know how to get it to load that HTML, either. ($page_content = '

'; , didn't work.)

Any advice? Even advice on what I should search on? Even something simple like "this is how you embed a swf into a block" would get me closer. Thanks!

A simple browsing of the contrib modules turned up Flash node.

Many people confuse Flash and Flex, so understandable . . . but Flash node is for posting SWF files into Drupal, not for making Flaex display a node.
Justin Girard has a decent tutorial on how to do this - trying to solve this one as well.

No confusion here. The OP stated:

Since they never replied, we don't know if the information was useful or not.
