Hi Guys,

I’m currently working on a flash project which will later run locally and offline on a PC. On this PC, there will also be a MySQL database which I need to access.

Now I’m looking for a proper way to do this. I have good skills in AS3, and have used PHP and MySQL alone in several web projects. But so far I have never used MySQL together with Flash.

So in which direction should I start looking for a good solution? What would be a good way to access a local MySQL database from a locally running SWF?

Any ideas highly appreciated!
