Im currently running a band profile system write in php with a mysql backbone but ive aquired the help of a friend to create the front end in flash, Im really a n00b when it comes to flash. so i have a few questions.
mysql cant communicate with flash directly can it ??
would it be easyer to output mysql as xml for flash or get the varibles from a php file??
on the current script bands are extracted from the database by there band_id which is specified in the url bandprofile.php?band_id=2 how would i go about getting the id of the band in flash
?
If i am to use xml im told flash has to load the whole file with 500+ bands wont this be slow ???
thanks
