Although I'm unsure of the details, I know it's possible by issuing page requests through Flash..

But, issuing the PAGE with the PHP? or acctually running it IN flash?

Too bad I'm new to that whole thing.. lol
Otherwise I'd try finding it in flash-db.com or something...
:-/
Does Flash actually CONNECT to the mysql, or do u need flash to call up some php file on a server, then that calls the mysql, and then flash can interpret it...?
Hmmm...

I'd guess that flash can only call the php file..

I just had to do this
I used actionscript
Code: Select all
this.loadVariables("http://www.mysite.com/doit.php",'POST');
flash sends some variables via POST then doit.php does the database functions based on those and echos out the result like
status=done
