Anyone have any information on the above technologies working together? Online tutorials…etc… I’ve seen the tutorial with PHP/Mysql/Flash but I haven’t seen one with JSP/mysql/flash. I hope its similar but I wanted to get some kinda tutorial. Ideally I would like to use just Flash and Mysql (without JSP). Is this even possible? I’ve seen Flash sites which use dynamic content but I have no idea how to do this. -gecko311 ---

Run a search thru google. “jsp mysql” returns some results. I personally have never used jsp. No you can not go directly from Flash to mySQL you must use a server-side language like asp, php, jsp in order to manipulate the database. Flash does not have the capabilities. ---

Thanks Jubba for the reply… I guess I can use JSP to read data from mysql and then use those read values in Flash to populate drop downs. Sorry I’m a novice when it comes to Flash usage… Are there Form submissions in Flash? If there are…then I could use Flash for the user interface, JSP/servlets for the database data transfers…and mysql for data storage. I think (depending on if I can transfer variables between Flash and JSP). -gecko311 ---

yes you can send and recieve variables to and from Flash, but its just not able to send those variables directly to the database. Flash will send to a page and the page will send to the db
