Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone could help me or point me in the direction of some actionscript cacheing techniques. I have a series of custom classes that I’ve built that model a database. I’m currently using this approach:  
Database-\>php classes-\>dynamic XML (based on ID)-\>Actionscript Class-\>Flash.  
The problem is I am pinging the server for every query to the db, and since I have many classes, the end result is rather slow. I know there are ways of creating an object cache - adding my objects into an array then checking the array for the object before re-querying the server, I just don’t offhand know the proper technique for doing this, since I wouldn’t know which index in the array to access…

Hopefully I’m not being too confusing, but I could really use some help…
