I am evaluating Drupal is a good tool for one of my project or not.
I know it is good to embed flash into Drupal in some block or part of Web page, but is it possible to create something is whole flash base(navigation, interface, background), but actually take the data was set up by drupal and then perform in whole flash environment??
which means I create my interface in flash, but I use the data was produced by drupal's modules rather than code php, mysql by myself.

Yes, that is possible. Even
Yes, that is possible. Even adobe is doing it: http://flex.org/showcase/
Have a look at the services module: http://drupal.org/project/services
wow...thanks for sharing
wow...thanks for sharing ;)
the Services module is working on 5...hum.....
but my Drupal version is 6. damn~ maybe I should reinstall back to 5.
I would't go back to 5
Hmm, I would't go back to 5 at this moment, there are too many improvements in D6 (and contributed modules, like Views 2) that I wouldn't want to be without. Personally, I would take 6.x-2.x-dev and try to help the developers by reporting bugs and (if possible) submitting patches.
Oh~really. I haven't used
Oh~really. I haven't used Drupal before. This is my first time need to use CMS. Maybe I should try to compare 5 and 6 first.
focus on D6
There are a lot of forum topics and documentation pages about the differences already, but in short, Drupal 6 will give you better performance, better usability, easier theming, more features, better support (some modules are not being maintained for Drupal 5 anymore). My advice to you is: do not study the differences between D5 and D6 right now, but focus on D6 first and try to find out if services for D6 is already mature enough for your specific situation. Unfortunately, I can't answer that question for you, but you can probably find that out by searching/asking in the services group at http://groups.drupal.org/services or in the services issue queue at http://drupal.org/project/issues/services.
