Hey I have a question for an ecommerce website. Not sure if this should have gone into actionscript or if it’s fine here. Basically I want to know what way is best to link Flash to a backend database. I know the general idea of it, having php as the middle man between flash and the database. I just don’t know exactly how to code this in. I might be using a scrollPane or a custom window that is scrollable to pull in the tables from the database, how can I do this? Any suggestions would be great thanks.
You’ll need to use the LoadVars object which can send and recieve data to a server script (php in your case) or the XML object which can do the same, but will convert your results into an xml object if well formated
