RE: FLASH: Flash 4.0 and database queries

[Jan Vangrinsven]

What you need is a system on the server to connect the database 

to the web, and then use another scripting language (iHTML, 

ColdFusion...) to query the database and send the results to the 

web. I suppose you know how to do this ? 


Only then we can start thinking about putting the results in Flash.
