RE: FLASH: ASP/Flash database search demo

[James]

Hopefully the mime type will be set soon, I've passed along instructions. 

 I did a few "upgrades" like putting the data in SQL Server so response 

should be much quicker, you can simply type a letter or two and press enter 

rather than clicking the button, and the "Processing..." info shows up 

while a search is being performed so the user has some feedback.

Think I'll work on adding some background music/sounds (out of our studios) 

to make things a bit more fun.


This is a great learning experience - I  go way back with ASP and combining 

it with a flash front-end seems to be an ideal combination for 

interactivity.  However, I am already finding limitations such as clickable 

records that are returned to drill-down further into the data, 

analyzing/changing data elements as they are brought back into flash, etc. 

 Of course, I don't know enough about flash4 yet to know for sure if it can 

be done, so I'm still looking into it.


Anyway, thanks for your reviews, if you want to take another look with the 

better coding and backend setup, feel free to let me know how performance 

is now.  Warning:  the mime type may or may not be setup just yet.


Thanks again!



James
