Well call me stupid, but I’m new. Anyway, I was wondering if it is possible to use a MySQL database to get results and display them somewhere in my flash as text. And if it is possible how would I do it?
It definately is possible. You need a PHP script that connects with the MySQL database and prints the output like this:
&yourvar=This is your variable&asecondvar=This is your second variable&…
Then you can read from that PHP file using the loadVars object in Flash. Run a search in the Server Side/Scripting forum for MySQL and PHP. I asked the same question some time ago and the people here helped me out. So search for posts by Voetsjoeba in Serverside/scripting concerning MySQL Flash and PHP.
Welcome to the forums by the way
Yes, welcome…
