yeah – i read the tut – but where i am getting lost is in section 3 – that’s the part i dont understand. i used the script listed there but i dont know what to do with it. and it talks about a ‘table’ – i am not sure what that is

and from my original question – i dont know how to set up a mysql database and the tut doesnt explain thatt even though very well written for setting it up in flash (it explains the flash side of using PHP and mysql only)

thanks mtsoul – the site was informative (although still a little over my head - but useful

Yeah, the documentation has a good tutorial indeed. Point 3 in the overview :wink:
