Hello,

You mean Flash, as in .swf?
Have never done that before but I would guess you could call a php-page with actionscript and just display it.

Yes, it would require something on the back-end to retrieve the data to display it. PHP, Java, node or any other back-end platform could do it. I am only vaguely familiar with doing this, so unfortunately I can't help you on the code.

It would be just like ajax

Code: Select all

var loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
var myrequest:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://localhost/whatever.php");

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);
loader.load(myrequest);

inside whatever.php you would run the mysql code to get the data you want then echo it out at the end.

You would then use that flash variable to do whatever.
