RE: FLASH: Using Flash with Database?

[Tim Layton]

Another question, it appears that Flash will easily communicate with a db on

an NT platform using ASP as the connector, but what about connection to a

traditional SQL db via Perl or another CGI method on a tradition Unix

platform?  I am guessing that I could create my flash movie and create a

form or whatever and use the Post or Get method to call an external Perl CGI

script.  I have seen this done for stuff like mail forms, but was wondering

if anyone has done something on a larger scale?  I was thinking along the

lines of an E-commerce site connecting to a SQL database for their products,

etc.


Best regards,


Tim

Hi,


I am new to Flash and I'd like to ask how to use Flash to Get/Post data

with an MS Access database stored in a web server.  I can use ASP or

Cold Fusion.  I tried several times with no success.  I am almost

convinced that Flash doesn't load variables from text files tha don't

have a ".txt" extension.


Have I missed something? Or do I have to use Generator?


TIA.
