To query and SQL database directly from flash.
I've never done it before and I only have FlashMX.
Im presuming I need FlashMX 2004 Pro and a host of other stuff and plenty of time to learn.
Can anyone fill me in?

There are components in the new version that allow for databinding with the recordsets, which are more in keeping with the form of how other technologies are working these days.(like MS ADO)

That doesnt mean a lot to me Mimio but thanks all the same, do I need Flash Remoting? Or just latest version 2004MX? Or 2004MX Pro?
- Mimio0
Yeah, I'd get MX04 and download the latest remoting components.
Are you sure you need to use remoting? You can make php files communicate with your flash movie and structure SQL statements.

I still prefer to use php to query MySQL, that same output could be used for a non-flash version of the site.

So no need for Pro then.
I would class myself as an intermediate Flash developer but I have never dealt with recordsets and the like.
Basically we have nobody expert in PHP so that option might be tricky - but we do have an .NET genius, so I was hoping that working together with him we could get the job done. What do you reckon?

Unfit - We make Flash games and want to improve our high score data retrieval. At the moment we are still using the antiquated sendVariables to a page in ASP. Its rubbish.
So the non flash version is not a requirement.

Mimio come back !!

Go talk to that .NET guy, tell him that the Flash remoting components are very similar to the C# object class library.

OK Mimio
*blindly obeys command

use a cfc much more stable than PHP when it comes to remoting

cfc I presume you are refering to Cold fusion, of which I havent a clue...Im glad its stable though, thats nice.
