I know you can do this using Cold Fusion, or asp or something that involves
server-side processing. But Flash does not offer ODBC connectivity itself.
Hopefully this may change with Flash 5.0, but in the mean time if you want
to use cold fusion, let me know as i have plenty of examples on how to do
this.

Subject: FLASH: Non-Generator Driven Database Question


Hello everyone... I have a not-so-simple question (at least it isnt simple
to me)... I was wondering if there is any way that Flash can read
information
from a Database such as Access without using Generator?. I will need it to
read several different fields, of just one item at a time, and then display
each field in a certain text field... also, on of the text fields will need
to be able to scroll dynamically based on the amount of text in the item
description. Is this possible? and if so, does anyone know where there is a
link to a tutorial on this type of thing? it doesn't have to be Access, it
is
just the first one that popped into my head. Also, it will not need to
write
to any file, and it is going into a Projector, so cgi really isn't an option

(i dont think)... It just needs to read and display. Any help on this will
be greatly appreciated :-)

Regards,

John Ward
