so im working on this project… it is a web site with quite a bit of content… it is almost like a blog as far as content goes… it is gonna all be done in flash… what is my best option for storing and retrieving the info… mysql or xml…

i personally was thinking for a lot of content xml would be slow… especially if i had to search through more than 20 xml files… wouldnt that get slower than just running a phptomysql script to get the content.???

but on the other hand i heard that running php to mysql scripts through flash isnt the most reliable…

or what about flash remoting???

someone school me… thankx
