    it's not just that. if you have to retrieve a whole table of users , let's say more than 1000, and send to Flash as a XML [wich will take already quite some time], and then use a for loop to check if it's the correct login, FLash will choke, and probably freeze the user's machine.

    wiht only one statement in php will have your answer. soemthing like:

    $query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username=$username"
    $result = @mysql_query($query);

    if($result){
    $user = @mysql_fetch_array($result);
    if($user['password'] = md5($password){
    echo"login=true";
    } else {
    echo"login="false";
    }
    } else {
    echo "error connecting to db";
    }
